?? YC W25 Demo Day: AI Takes Center Stage! Treeo VC was on the ground at Y Combinator’s Winter 2025 Demo Day at The Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco. Our General Partners, Arzu Tekir and Cigdem Toraman, were there in person, while Didem Altop followed the pitches online from Miami. The energy was electrifying, and one thing was crystal clear: AI is no longer just a tool, it’s the backbone of the next wave of disruptive startups. 133 of the 160 startups in this batch are leveraging AI to reshape industries, from autonomous AI agents in finance, sales, and customer support to voice AI solutions that seamlessly integrate with enterprise operations. Key Trends We Observed: ?? Rise of Agentic Infrastructure – Startups like Asteroid and Truffle AI are building platforms that enable AI agents to function independently, making decisions without human intervention. ?? Voice AI Revolution – Companies like Calltree, Leaping AI, and Trace are redefining customer interactions, replacing manual call center tasks with AI-driven solutions. ?? Enterprise Automation – Startups such as Copycat and Ergo are eliminating repetitive tasks, allowing businesses to optimize workflows with minimal human effort. ?? AI in Software Development – Confident AI is helping engineering teams ensure AI models are production-ready, marking a crucial step for AI-powered software. The Infrastructure of the AI Ecosystem ?? YC W25 Demo Day highlighted a key trend: A new wave of AI startups is focused on creating solutions tailored for emerging AI products. There is a significant emphasis on developer tools and agentic approaches, as well as solutions for model deployment, debugging, and optimization. These elements are crucial in shaping the future of AI infrastructure. Other Noteworthy Insights ?? Software development cycles are shorter than ever – Startups are shipping products at an unprecedented pace, demonstrating rapid iteration and execution. ?? Pivots are paying off – Several startups made bold pivots during the program and gained impressive traction in just a few weeks. The agility of these founders is remarkable. ?? The trend of university dropouts continues – As in previous years, we saw ambitious founders leaving top graduate and PhD programs to chase their startup dreams, further proof that YC attracts the brightest minds willing to take big risks. ?? The Treeo VC team was deeply impressed by the caliber of founders and the innovative solutions presented. We’ve already set our sights on one standout startup from the W25 batch and will be making a final investment decision in the coming days. Stay tuned! Y Combinator Demo Day once again proves that the AI revolution isn’t coming, it’s here. Companies that fail to integrate AI into their operations risk being left behind. At Treeo VC, we’re excited to back the next generation of AI-driven disruptors! #YCW25 #TreeoVC #AIRevolution #StartupInvesting #VentureCapital ??

?? Breaking the Mold: Women in VC Are More Than a Statistic Venture capital loves to talk about “disrupting industries.” But here’s a disruption that’s long overdue: More women writing the checks. ?? Only 14% of check writers in US VC firms are female. ?? Two-thirds of VC firms have zero women at the GP level. ? Just 4% of firms are led by a solo female GP. Treeo VC? We’re built different. Three female GPs. 28% female LPs. 30% of our investments backing female co-founders. Because when women hold the pen, they don’t just sign checks, they rewrite the rules. The future? It’s funding more women, elevating more decision-makers, and proving that diverse investments drive bigger returns. Who’s with us? ??
