Michaels picked up the thread.
Joann closed. Party City disappeared. Michaels saw unfinished projects, unplanned birthdays, and a very practical opening: give those customers somewhere to go.
Kravet
Kravet turned a New York tailor's eye for cloth into a trade-only system for designing entire rooms. A century later, its real product is not simply fabric - it is confidence at the moment a designer commits.
Orca
Orca is a San Francisco startup (Y Combinator S24) that lets anyone build, host, and play Minecraft games without writing code. You describe a mod, plugin, or world in plain English and Orca's AI writes the code, generates textures, compiles a real mod, tests it, and can deploy it live to a free 8 GB server in seconds. The company frames its ambition as building a Roblox-style creator platform on top of Minecraft's 300M+ player base, playable from a browser or a free desktop client.
