Y Combinator's latest Request for Startups highlights: "Cursor for Product Management" (targeting $20K+/year Productboard-class tools), AI-Powered Agencies ($2K-$5K/client/month), AI for Software Development beyond code gen (debugging, testing, security), and Modernizing American Metal Mills. Core thesis: AI-native companies with software economics, built by tiny teams, in overlooked industries. Key unit economics claim: SaaS built in 2026 can reach $100K MRR in 4-6 months vs 18-24 months in 2020. (Y Combinator)
