SpyGlass: Predict Your YC Success with AI

Project title
How it works

Inspiration

It's hard to see the future Startup ideation takes 60% of the SPRINTs, 90% of YC applications are rejected as too slow.

What it does

Searches fast growing trends > Visualizes trends to help you see the future > Suggests fast growing startup ideas on trends intersection > Searches and eliminates existing analogs > Calculates weekly growth rate and acceptance.

How we built it

Analyze - Gemini byTogether.ai, Visualization - Plotly, Storage - ApertureDB, Observability - Weave by W&B, Agent Orchestration - LangGraph, ApertureDB SDK.

Challenges we ran into

Trends and startup ideas need collaborative selection (planned for next version). Trends need links to explanation and the proofs (planned for next version)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Team wants to submit this project to YC !!!

What we learned

By eliminating inefficiencies on the human side, we will accelerate the progress fueled by AI. 3 months of preparation to YC for the team of 3 = ~$30,000 Changing 10% success rate => 90%, for 40,000 applicants per year we can save > $1b
