4 new startups from YC F26 launched in the last 24 hours (90 total). 9 weeks and 6 days until demo day (Dec 2).

Elimentary

Agents that run middle/back-office operations for Private Capital

Elimentary builds AI agents that autonomously run middle and back-office operations for private capital managers, starting with structured credit. Founded by Yogesh Gorjilla, Mannat Saini, and Manoj Sarda (a repeat founder who previously started Skit.ai), they solve the problem of manual operations that have started breaking down as assets under management have grown, causing write-offs and penalties. Their agents handle borrowing base calculations, loan tape processing, and net asset value calculations, cutting a 20-hour ops process to 30 minutes for one customer and saving $150k annually.

Ageospatial

Helping insurance companies value risk on properties remotely.

Ageospatial helps insurance companies assess property risk remotely using computer vision on satellite and street-level imagery. Founded by Maaz Sheikh, who spent 7 years building geospatial software for insurance, energy, and government, they solve the problem that 97% of commercial properties never get inspected due to cost and time. They analyze imagery, maps, real-time data, and public records to determine what exists on each property, which hazards surround it, what changed over time, and which properties need inspection. This helps insurers avoid mispricing and the estimated $36B in annual premium leakage caused by relying on often-incorrect client or broker information.

He was hired at 19 to support wartime and natural-disaster decisions from satellite imagery and at 21 analyzed drones in the Arctic to study whether food could grow there if the ice melted. He spent 7 years building geospatial software for insurance, energy and governments.

Pendulum Robotics

Quick-turn, purpose-built motors & actuators for all

Pendulum Robotics designs and manufactures custom drone motors and robotic actuators in LA. They solve the problem of robotics teams having to settle for off-the-shelf components that don't fit their unique requirements. By using proprietary software and high-mix machining, they can rapidly produce motors and actuators tailored to a robot's specific form factor and mission. Their first factory can create thousands of motors per month up to 200mm in diameter, letting hardware teams iterate at software speed.

Cyclon

a phone where AI is the interface

Cyclon is building an AI-first phone where users interact with the device through natural language rather than apps and screens. Users can tell their phone what they want and it executes tasks directly, or they can create AI agents to control the phone or run tasks in the background. Adam and Thomas are building hardware where AI isn't contained within apps but is the core interface itself.
