Wavedash is a San Francisco-based startup (YC X25) that lets players jump into high-end PC games directly in their browser - no launcher, no download, no install. Built on WebAssembly and WebGPU, the platform acts like 'Steam for the web,' giving indie developers a friction-free distribution channel where they keep 90% of revenue. Backed by Floodgate's Mike Maples Jr., Jawed Karim (YouTube co-founder), Griffin Gaming Partners, and Y Combinator, Wavedash launched its public beta in December 2025.
Willow is a San Francisco-based AI voice dictation startup that replaces the keyboard with voice input across any app. Built by two Stanford dropouts, the product delivers sub-500ms latency, 40%+ higher accuracy than built-in dictation tools, and context-aware transcription that handles technical jargon and proper nouns. Backed by Y Combinator and a $4.5M seed round, Willow targets knowledge workers - engineers, managers, sales teams - helping them type 4x faster by speaking naturally. Enterprise customers include Uber, Gusto, Canva, and GitHub.
