Restaurants send orders to food distributors by email, text, and photo. Someone at the distributor retypes every one of them into the ERP.

TL;DR: PokerClubHub is the first licensed poker club platform. We protect players’ deposits and allow anyone to open their own poker club and make money. Regulated online poker sites like PokerStars have open player pools and thus are full of pros and bots, driving players to unregulated private clubs. Existing poker club platforms like ClubGG have no payments processing. Players deposit with a club owner by sending them crypto for play-money chips. In theory, these chips can be exchanged back for money. However, players can get scammed and withdrawing takes ages. This model is also broken for honest club owners who have to manually process hundreds of deposits a day. They lose out on rake when they sleep and struggle to get players to trust them. On PokerClubhub, players deposit with PokerClubHub, not the club owner. We handle all deposits and withdrawals for the club owner, saving them time and increasing their earnings. We pay the rake (if any) to club owners as affiliate fees. We hold the same gaming license as BetHog (built by founders of FanDuel) and Nexa Poker (part of World Poker Tour). Player deposits are secured using Fireblocks. You can also play rake-free games with your friends and acquaintances on our platform. We ensure that everyone pays up.

Egoist Machines is building infrastructure for a world where your personal context belongs to you, rather than to the apps and AI companies you use. Today, every assistant and consumer app builds its own version of you. We think that architecture is backwards. Your context should live with you, persist across products, and be available to any model, app or agent you choose. AI Passport is the first layer of that infrastructure. It brings the context you generate across AI assistants and everyday apps into one portable profile you control. Tell ChatGPT something and Claude can already know it, for example. Switch to a new product and it can understand you from the first interaction, without the new company needing to own the underlying data. Apps integrate through Sign in with AI Passport, requesting only the context they need for a specific purpose and duration. Users can see what is being accessed and revoke that access later. Underneath, we have built our own memory infrastructure for fast, compact per-user retrieval and permissioned access. We are distributing AI Passport directly to consumers through first-party products, while integrating it into consumer applications with existing distribution. Every new product that uses Passport gives users another reason to maintain their context there, and every additional Passport holder makes the context layer more useful to developers. The next step is to build a true Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents. We call it Digital Domovoy, the hardware extension of AI Passport. Instead of your most personal context ultimately living on somebody else's servers, it lives and is processed locally on hardware you control. AI Passport becomes the permission layer between that private local context and the cloud models and internet services you choose to use. Our North Star is the Egoist Machine: an intelligent system whose memory, incentives and actions are governed by the individual it represents.

We want to bring AI agents to a billion people. To do this, we believe it needs to be 1. proactive and 2. personal. A billion people already carry the right device, but none of them have the right connector. Moonshot is personal intelligence that lives on your iPhone and listens to you 24/7. It continuously builds up a greater understanding of you through constantly listening and building context. It just pays deep attention, the way a good friend does. Through this, Moonshot monitors your conscious and subconscious life, figuring out what you need before you know, reminding you about open loops, identifying life and emotional trends before you recognize it, and covering a lot more of what we gloss over in daily life. For fifty years, software has waited to be asked. We think tools are just good enough to flip this, and the next great software will provide value before asking for something first. We're doing it through Moonshot. Our thesis is simple: you're only living half your life. The half that you actively remember. The other half just evaporates into your subconscious: what you said, felt, promised, and forgot. It's the more interesting half, and until now nothing could catch it, making it not actionable. Moonshot catches your subconscious half and understands you well enough to take actions on your behalf. Take life personally. The iOS app is designed around ambient listening and clear user control. Short microphone chunks are sent securely to Moonshot's private transcription service and deleted when transcription finishes. Text and selected context can be sent through Moonshot's server to a model when the app needs to understand a moment. Nothing leaves without your yes. The privacy policy explains every data path, stored copy, permission, and deletion control in detail. Moonshot is in early access. Join the waitlist to hear when access opens, read more about the team and product on the About page, or use the Contact page for a direct written response from the Moonshot team. Let's make it a Moonshot.

Drafted is building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. The product allows users to design homes by combining sketches and direct spatial input to generate coherent floor plans and elevations that can be explored in both 2D and 3D.

Light Anchor (YC P26) builds AI-run consumer brands that run at the speed of compute. Consumer brands have always been limited by the speed of humans: hiring, coordinating, and sleeping.
