YC released the 10 startup ideas they want to fund in 2026. I categorized them into three groups:
AI Tools & Platforms (building AI-native software)

• Cursor for Product Managers

• AI-Native Agencies

• Large Spatial Models

• Make LLMs Easy to Train

AI Applied to Regulated Sectors (AI solving problems in high-friction industries)

• AI-Native Hedge Funds

• AI for Government

• Infra for Government Fraud Hunters

• AI Guidance for Physical Work

I joined Product Hunt to support fellow makers and stay close to what's actually being built not just what's being pitched.
Tell me what you're working on. If you want a second pair of eyes on your launch strategy or copy, I'm happy to help I've spent the last few months deep in the product strategy, pitch deck and GTM.

And if you've launched here before: I'd genuinely love to hear what moved the needle and what you'd do differently. Every launch story teaches me something.
I'm Abhi, founder of Stablecorp we help founders/freelancers outside the US set up a US LLC / C Corp, open a real digital banking account, wallet, and invoice clients in stablecoins, compliantly, in 48 hours. No lawyers. No confusion.
Stablecoins have quietly become the default payment rail for builders in emerging markets India, Nigeria, SE Asia, LatAm. But the infrastructure for what happens after you get paid hasn't caught up. No legal entity, no clean off-ramp, no protection if a client ghosts. That's the gap we're closing.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here.

I'll go first.

I won a hackathon got some grants in USDC. I had to first transfer that money to Altitude, then transfer it to US bank account and then to my indian bank account. It took so much time and lost a lot in fees.

If you're a SaaS, digital product, agency or freelancer what payment gateways do you use to handle local methods, taxes and subscriptions?

PayPal charges me 5% per transaction and their support is unwilling to reduce it to 3% for me while I know they do lower the transaction fee for certain accounts.
