Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch includes an impressive 70 startups focused on agentic AI, marking a significant trend in the accelerator's focus on artificial intelligence. Each startup receives an investment of $500,000 to boost their development over the intense three-month program. This inaugural spring cohort showcases innovative applications of agentic AI technology across various sectors, including cybersecurity, fintech, and healthcare. The startups presented their advancements during YC's Demo Day, drawing attention to the increasing interest in AI-driven solutions.
When Y Combinator issued a callout earlier this year for more founders building so-called 'agentic' AI - software that can essentially think and perform tasks on its own - entrepreneurs were all ears.
2025 marks the first time YC has run a spring cohort, which ran from April to June.
Many of the startups that made the cut apply agentic AI across industries - from cybersecurity to consumer fintech to healthcare.
For its inaugural spring batch, YC partners said they were especially keen on startups exploring new and creative ways to harness artificial intelligence.
