We re teaming up with The Pitch by @Deel, a global startup competition where up to 100 winners will receive $50k in funding and up to 10 winners will receive $1M+.
If you make the cut, you ll also show up on special Product Hunt leaderboards, starting with the first event on April 13.
At YC, investors outlined 8 startups across space, AI, gaming, and agriculture (most of them want to bet on futuristic ideas, e.g. space), and these sparked interest in funding them.
This was the pick:
Beyond Reach Labs satellite solar arrays that expand from table-size to football-field size in orbit Est. valuation: ~$100M+
Byteport next-gen file transfer protocol Est. valuation: ~ $30M
Hex Security AI agents that continuously hack your system to find vulnerabilities (Rev.: $1M+ run-rate in 8 weeks) Est. valuation: ~$100M+
Grazemate autonomous drones that herd cattle, track weight, and monitor land Est. valuation: ~ $30M
GRU Space moon factory turning lunar soil into buildings (starting with a moon hotel) Est. valuation: ~$100M+
Luel marketplace for real-world human data (video/audio) to train AI models (Rev.: ~$2M ARR in 6 weeks) Est. valuation: ~$100M+
Pax Historia AI strategy game where players rewrite history (e.g. Rome never falls) 35K daily users Est. valuation: ~ $30M
Stilta AI agent for patent lawyers (search + analyse IP faster, cheaper) Est. valuation: ~ $30M
If you re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.
YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.
Airtop often shows up when workflows need to interact with real interfaces, not just APIs. The kind of automation that feels closer to how humans actually work.
If Airtop is doing real work for you, tell us what that looks like. What task did it finally take off your plate?
Gumloop often replaces the custom but fragile scripts people were maintaining themselves. It gives structure to workflows that used to live half in code and half in someone s head.
If you are using Gumloop, share what it is doing for you now. What workflow did you finally stop babysitting?
Relay shows up when workflows start to feel brittle and you want something more intentional than a chain of rules. It is often about coordination, not just automation.
If Relay is part of how your work moves forward, tell us what it is responsible for. What does it orchestrate? What used to fall through the cracks?
Trace tends to show up where workflows get complex. The parts of work that involve reasoning, coordination, and follow ups instead of simple triggers.
If you are using Trace, we want to hear how. What kind of workflow is it handling for you? What problem finally felt manageable once Trace was in the mix?
For a lot of people, Zapier is the quiet backbone. The thing connecting tools you do not want to think about connecting yourself.
If Zapier has been doing invisible work for you, this is the moment to surface it. What automations are still running months later? What would be annoying to rebuild from scratch?
For teams using Taskade, it often becomes the place where planning turns into action. Tasks, automations, and AI features all living in the same loop instead of scattered across tools.
If Taskade is part of how you run work, tell us how. What workflow did you set up that stuck? What changed once it was in place?
If you are using n8n, you probably stopped thinking about it at some point. It just runs. The workflows, the glue code, the stuff that would be painful to rewire if it disappeared.
We want the real stories here. What is n8n handling for you today? What did it replace? What breaks if you turn it off?
I ve been using Google s @NanoBanana image tools for a while now for quick visuals, edits, and the occasional cursed meme. They ve been good enough that I haven t really felt a big urge to switch.
But I m seeing a ton of buzz around @ChatGPT Images and how much better they are for real-world stuff like thumbnails, product shots, and UI mocks.
We just wrapped the Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we re moving to the next category: AI Automation.
This one is for the tools that actually do work for you clearing chores, running workflows in the background, or quietly taking over a chunk of your week without turning into another dashboard you have to babysit.
A tagline is the first piece of content a user will see about your product on the leaderboard. It's so important that you get it right. You should be able to get a really solid idea of what your product is just by reading a handful of words.
In the spirit of forever optimising our taglines, I wanted to do a little experiment:

We're into the last week of November, which is a little nuts to me. It feels like last week we rang in the 2025 new year celebrations. There's been a ton of new products launch this year, unsurprisingly a lot of them with "AI" in their name. What product or products stood out to you the most?
For me it has to be @Wispr Flow, it's completely changed the game on how I interact with my devices, I rarely find myself typing anymore. Even this post was dictated through Wispr Flow.
