Non-Obviously Great Startups

news.ycombinator.com Aaron Harris 2025-10-15 22:06:10

The dominant metaphor for a successful startup these days is the rocketship. The not so humble brags are all over x and the press, founders and VCs saying - “0-100m in ARR faster than any company in history” and “idea to $1m in revenue in a month.” I get why these are exciting. The stories are simple, the progress is amazing, the pull of the market is irresistible. Sometimes these will be the biggest and most interesting companies of the future.

COVID vaccine locations vanish from Google Maps due to supposed “technical issue”

The start of the COVID-19 pandemic is now five years in the rearview mirror, but its effects continue to reverberate. While those leading the US healthcare system have embraced conspiracy theories and junk science to justify a reduced focus on vaccines (particularly the COVID jab) many people are still seeking out immunization.

TED leader’s $300M ‘valley of death’ fund might be just what later-stage climate tech needs

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-10-16 02:42:26

Like many startups, climate tech companies often face a “valley of death” that lies between early stage funding and growth capital that helps proven technologies reach commercial scale. But because climate tech startups are often hardware focused — physical problems tend to require physical solutions, after all — this valley of death tends to be a lot wider. Financing a first-of-a-kind power plant or factory can cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, a new fund hopes to bridge this

What’s the Story Behind ‘Tron: Ares?’ Our Report From the Set

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-16 18:00:57

“I have to ride a lightcycle.” That was my first thought last year when the invite arrived to visit the set of Disney’s new sequel, Tron: Ares. It seemed like a logical request. When you think of Tron, you think of lightcycles. They’re a huge part of both 2010’s Tron: Legacy and 1982’s Tron. And yet, I had to wonder, were there even lightcycles in this movie? What exactly WAS this movie? Coming out 15 years after the last one, with basically a whole new cast, it seemed any concept of what the fi

Figma's stock slumps 18% after first earnings report to lowest since IPO
