    Startups Are Moving From Bits to Atoms

    Garry, Jared, Diana, Harj

    Recent YC batches have witnessed a hard tech resurgence, with the physical sector share tripling to 20% alongside a historic 1-in-6 PhD founder rate driven by AI acceleration and macroeconomic shifts in defense and space. Concurrently, the software landscape has pivoted toward revenue-generating agentic workflows and solo founders, as AI tools enable single individuals to execute complex full-stack operations and experienced founders to manage autonomous coding teams. These trends collectively signal a fundamental shift where advanced physical intelligence, specialized silicon, and autonomous agents are redefining startup viability and scaling strategies.
