  • Merlin AI
    Merlin AI
    Y Combinator LogoS2024
    Active • 28 employees • Los Angeles, CA, USA
    Merlin is an AI-powered ERP for construction companies. We provide construction companies with a single, AI-powered platform to manage their entire business operations. Our platform unifies project management, materials management, finance, estimating, and CRM—traditionally scattered across multiple systems—into one cohesive solution. For the first time, construction firms can automate and oversee every aspect of their projects in a single, intuitive system. Today, construction companies pay for 8-17 different tools - that we eliminate the need for. We reduce - Manual work by 60% - Cut software costs by $10,000 monthly - Complete projects 3x faster. Why Now? We're witnessing a perfect storm of factors: decades of stagnation in traditional ERP systems, a multi-billion-dollar industry built on misaligned incentives, and the transformative potential of AI. This confluence creates a rare cyclical opportunity for market upheaval. The last major shift in this space occurred in the 1990s with the advent of digital systems, and now, 30 years later, we're on the cusp of another seismic change. Customers are crying out for innovation and as AI reshapes the landscape, early customer signals indicate an eagerness for smarter, more efficient systems. It's a unique window of opportunity that opens perhaps once in a multi-decade chance to redefine an entire industry's operational backbone. Team: KS, a BITS Pilani grad and successful startup co-founder, and Ayantika, an IIT alumni and tech expert, bring extensive coding and product development expertise together bringing about over a decade of technical expertise. Sneha ( that’s me), with over a decade of experience in supply chain management and lean manufacturing within the construction industry, has lived the pain of using ERPs in this industry.

    Veles
    Y Combinator LogoW2024
    Active • 5 employees • Santa Barbara, CA, USA
    You closed your first few deals on handshakes and Stripe links. Now a customer wants a ramp-up, custom terms, or annual billing — and suddenly you're duct-taping spreadsheets to your CRM. Most CPQ tools are built for 500-person sales orgs with a dedicated RevOps team. Veles is built for you. AI agents handle quoting, approvals, and deal docs end-to-end so you can run a real sales motion without hiring a deal desk. It's free for founders just getting started, and pricing scales with the number of active contracts you manage — so we only grow when you do. No CRM consultant, no six-month rollout. Just connect Salesforce or HubSpot and start closing.

    Y Combinator LogoW2022
    Active • 3 employees • Los Angeles, CA, USA
    Auto parts retailers get product data from hundreds of manufacturers that is inaccurate and inconsistent, often with big gaps in key values. They currently have a team of "catalog managers" who are required to process and enhance this data line by line, resulting in a week to months long lag between receiving product data and actually being able to start generating revenue from those products. Versable leverages AI to scan the web for tens of millions of auto parts listings, and uses a fine-tuned LLM with RAG to instantly process, enhance, and transform data. With just a part number, Versable is able to generate market-ready titles, product descriptions, and specs, in any format that's needed.

    Plotdrive is the first continuous production system for narrative — infrastructure that transforms how long-form stories move from imagination to completion. Most books don’t fail for lack of talent; they fail when the workflow collapses somewhere between page 80 and page 300. Founded by brothers with backgrounds in high-stakes poker, VR, and narrative systems, we built what we couldn’t find: an engine that holds the entire shape of a story while authors work inside it. Writers see 5-10× gains in throughput without losing their voice. Manuscripts that sat untouched for years finally reach the finish line. Authors are using Plotdrive to break decade-long blocks. Publishers are using it to rethink how story pipelines should operate when continuity, context, and editorial craft can finally scale. The printing press made distribution industrial. We’re making completion industrial — creating the foundational layer for how narrative gets made at scale.

    PipelineDB is an open-source PostgreSQL extension that enables realtime reporting use cases by continuously aggregating large streams of time series data down into summary data. It shines the most at larger scales, where storing lots of raw time-series data and aggregating it over and over again becomes inefficient. The amount of value that PipelineDB adds is directly proportional to the amount of continuous aggregation that an analytics use case can benefit from. PipelineDB should be used for analytics use cases that only require summary data, like realtime reporting dashboards. PipelineDB is not a good fit for exploratory analytics on siloed datasets.

Flutter lets you record short, ephemeral videos to express yourself and capture the attention of potential matches nearby. Users browse through nearby videos and, just like Tinder, like or pass on each one before moving on to the next. Here’s the catch: to actually match with someone, you have to be on the app at the same time and look into each other’s eyes for 15 seconds to see if there’s a spark. We help users play this game by sending push notifications when people they like are online. Video is so powerful. We've seen this with YouTube, Snapchat, Meerkat. And 15 seconds of live, two-way video can tell you so much more about a person than hand-picked photos and bios.
