The Playbook For Building An AI Native Company
Y Combinator Startup Podcast
AI isn't just making teams more productive. It's changing how companies should be built. In this episode of Startup School, YC Partner Diana Hu explains what it means to build an AI-native company, where AI isn't just a tool but the operating system your company runs on. She breaks down how to make your company queryable so agents can improve across every function, why management hierarchies break down when an intelligence layer replaces human middleware, and why early-stage founders have a massive edge in building this way from day one.
