Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch includes 70 agentic AI startups, each receiving $500k. Leadership changes see Dalton Caldwell and Michael Seibel step back while Jon Xu and Andrew Miklas become general partners.

Y Combinator’s Spring 2025 accelerator batch features 70 startups focused on agentic AI, with each receiving $500,000 in funding. The three-month program continues to be a launchpad for innovative AI ventures.

Leadership Changes at Y Combinator

  • Dalton Caldwell, former managing partner, transitions to partner emeritus after 12+ years and 25 batches. He cofounds Standard Capital, an AI-native Series A firm.
  • Michael Seibel, another longtime partner, also stepped back earlier this year.
  • Jon Xu and Andrew Miklas were promoted to general partners in May, now overseeing founder support across batches.

Notable Startups in the Batch

  • Cohesive: An agentic CRM for blue-collar businesses (janitorial, landscaping, etc.), automating lead generation and service scheduling.
  • Docket: An AI agent for web testing, founded by ex-Citadel and Stripe engineers.
  • Daxa: An AI tool by ex-Google executive Ananth Kashyap, monitoring user behavior for product improvements.
  • PrismAI: Identifies issues via session replays, founded by a former Palantir/AWS engineer.
  • VoiceOS: Voice AI for high-volume hiring, shortening recruitment cycles.
  • Kirana AI: AI store manager for theft detection and inventory management.
  • Sava: Robotics for sheet metal manufacturing, reducing iteration time.
  • Aegis: Automates insurance denial appeals for healthcare providers.
  • Cascade Space: Lunar/deep space communications system by a SpaceX alum.

  • India is seeing similar accelerators like Together Fund and Lossfunk supporting AI startups.
