Curious what YC could do from their perspective to leverage their semi-unique position here as well.
The big cloud vendors are probably more geared towards the infrastructure side, but given problems (a) that "hard tech" requires non-trivial capex, (b) that many startups fail (nature of the space), & (c) that YC sees a lot of startups, then maybe there are opportunities to more efficiently handle "hard tech" needs by time-sharing common resources.
There are always going to be bespoke needs, but things like shared vehicle fleets with standardized interfaces, etc seem plausible when you've got a stable of 5 startups, with each being perfectly fine only testing their autonomous UAV / vehicle platform Tuesdays and Thursdays (or once a month) and letting someone else use it the rest of the time.
