Vehicle owners currently have 2 options to choose from; very expensive and geographically limited branded mechanic garages (less than 1% of the supply pool) or unvetted roadside mechanics (about 99% of the supply pool). \r\n\r\nAbout 95% of vehicle owners cannot afford branded garages where quality and reliable service delivery can be guaranteed and thus rely on roadside mechanics. However, low quality and transparency are typical issues associated with roadside mechanics. \r\n\r\nWe created a network of vetted mechanics, spare part vendors and an app that enables easy booking, payment and mechanic matching process. Via the mecho app, a customer or business can make a request for any automobile service (repairs or regular servicing) or part. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n", "one_liner": "On-demand auto maintenance & repairs", "team_size": 35, "industry": "Industrials", "subindustry": "Industrials -> Automotive", "launched_at": 1624544851, "tags": [ "Auto Commerce", "Marketplace", "E-commerce" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2021", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Industrials", "Automotive" ], "regions": [ "Nigeria", "Africa" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": false, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/mecho-autotech", "api": "https://yc-oss.github.io/api/batches/summer-2021/mecho-autotech.json" }, { "id": 25060, "name": "Wyvern", "slug": "wyvern", "former_names": [], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/81c65dc68a3dd43b57dbb23ae1bb4d8d7ae288ab.png", "website": "http://www.wyvern.space", "all_locations": "Edmonton, AB, Canada", "long_description": "Wyvern is a space data company that will capture the highest resolution hyperspectral images from satellites that cost 100X less than satellites using traditional telescopes.", "one_liner": "High-res hyperspectral pictures of Earth from space", "team_size": 26, "industry": "Industrials", "subindustry": "Industrials -> Aviation and Space", "launched_at": 1642438828, "tags": [ "Hard Tech", "Satellites", "Climate" ], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": false, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Winter 2022", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Industrials", "Aviation and Space" ], "regions": [ "Canada", "America / Canada", "Remote", "Partly Remote" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": false, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/wyvern", "api": "https://yc-oss.github.io/api/batches/winter-2022/wyvern.json" }, { "id": 25262, "name": "AstroForge", "slug": "astroforge", "former_names": [ "Ex Scientia" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/082bfcbfaacfcf7fb550c29a3ff76a83bf574e79.png", "website": "https://www.astroforge.io/", "all_locations": "Los Angeles, CA, USA; Huntington Beach, CA, USA", "long_description": "AstroForge is an asteroid mining company.

Off-the-shelf platforms now deliver ISR, contraband, or payloads with precision, while operating below radar coverage and beyond line-of-sight. These systems—often costing under $1,000—are capable of neutralizing multi-million-dollar defense assets. For drone detection to be viable at scale, sensors must achieve cost parity with the threat.\r\n\r\nIn response, the Department of Defense established multiple initiatives to counter the rapid proliferation of uncrewed aerial systems. The Joint Counter-small UAS Office (JCO) coordinates policy and acquisition across services. The Base Defense Cross-Functional Team enables persistent perimeter security for CONUS and OCONUS installations. Falcon Peak, Red Sands, and related exercises are accelerating deployment of counter-UAS technologies in complex environments.\r\n\r\nThis threat is no longer exclusive to military operations overseas. It now directly targets the U.S. homeland. In 2025, an executive order designated the protection of American airspace sovereignty a national priority, recognizing that uncrewed systems present both surveillance and kinetic risks within the United States. That same year, a domestic extremist plotted to destroy a Tennessee power substation using a drone rigged with C-4 explosives—a plan disrupted by undercover federal agents. In July 2025, an unauthorized drone collided with a rescue helicopter during disaster response operations in Kerr County, Texas, forcing an emergency landing and halting flood relief efforts. These are not isolated incidents—they reflect a broader shift in drone-enabled threats against homeland infrastructure and public safety.\r\n\r\nGuardian RF builds passive, radiofrequency-based drone detection systems for force protection and critical infrastructure defense inside the United States. Our systems are fielded under an AFWERX Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR with the 30th Security Forces Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, deployed by local and state law enforcement, and integrated into commercial security operations. We were selected as a finalist for Falcon Peak 25.2, the Department of Defense’s premier counter-UAS exercise.\r\n\r\nScout is a passive RF sensor for fixed, mobile, or temporary deployments. It detects and classifies drone control signals—including modified variants of DJI, Crossfire, and ExpressLRS—at standoff ranges. Scout supports direct integration into TAK and other operational APIs and is managed through GRF-SECURE, our secure interface for live monitoring, threat alerting, and forensic review.\r\n\r\nMosaic extends coverage in austere environments, enabling persistent low-altitude monitoring and classification of non–Remote ID drones across complex terrain—without active emissions or mesh dependency.\r\n\r\nBuilt in the United States, Guardian RF delivers scalable, automated, and cost-aligned drone detection—passive by design and hardened for real-world deployment across the homeland.", "one_liner": "Drone detection for US defense and national security ", "team_size": 15, "industry": "Industrials", "subindustry": "Industrials -> Drones", "launched_at": 1718385099, "tags": [], "tags_highlighted": [], "top_company": false, "isHiring": true, "nonprofit": false, "batch": "Summer 2024", "status": "Active", "industries": [ "Industrials", "Drones" ], "regions": [ "Unspecified" ], "stage": "Early", "app_video_public": false, "demo_day_video_public": false, "app_answers": null, "question_answers": false, "url": "https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/guardian-rf", "api": "https://yc-oss.github.io/api/batches/summer-2024/guardian-rf.json" }, { "id": 29784, "name": "Sensei", "slug": "sensei", "former_names": [ "OBO" ], "small_logo_thumb_url": "https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0e3e1067b2d9b0492706fd6cec1ccf4d50ee5c59.png", "website": "https://senseirobotics.com", "all_locations": "San Francisco, CA, USA", "long_description": "Sensei helps robotics companies scale and outsource their training data collection.
