Cool Company Raises · YC F26

Agent 37 launches at YC (Fall 2026)

Agent 37 runs coding agents as always-on hosted sandboxes, so you host neither the machine nor the state. One POST to /v1/instances provisions an isolated environment with its own URL that you can message across sessions; files, memory and connected tools stay put until you delete it. It runs Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex or a custom harness, in 2-8 vCPU / 4-16 GB sizes, with gVisor kernel-level isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, and SOC 2 Type I. There is no plan fee — compute meters by the minute at $0.0011 per vCPU-hour and $0.00096 per GB-hour of RAM, which puts a continuously running 2 vCPU / 4 GB sandbox near $4.76 a month. Founded in 2026 by Vishnu Krishnaprasad, based in New York City.

Cool Company Raises · $12.7M

BoomerangHR raises a $12.7M Seed round

BoomerangHR turns the people who leave a company into its next hires. The platform automates offboarding — exit compliance, COBRA, 401k rollovers, equipment returns — then keeps the relationship alive: verified alumni profiles, role matching, network engagement, and reporting on talent migration, re-engagement signals and sales opportunities. It plugs into existing HCM and ATS systems rather than replacing them. Founded and led by Jeff Wald in New York, BoomerangHR says hundreds of companies representing millions of alumni use it, with Warby Parker among the named customers. The $12.7M seed was co-led by Kalos Ventures and Album Ventures, with Monta Vista Capital, Capital Eleven and the Strada Education Foundation participating.

Mirrors launches at YC (Fall 2026)

Mirrors builds runnable staging environments for AI agents. It captures production traces from an agent's real sessions, reconstructs a working twin of the internal tools and APIs that agent calls, then replays those sessions against every prompt, model or tool change before it ships — so regressions surface in staging rather than in production. The gap it fills is that agents call bespoke internal services no standard test suite can reproduce, which matters most where a mistake is irreversible: issuing refunds, updating records, sending outbound messages. Founded in 2026 in San Francisco by Aryan Singhal (ML research at UT Austin and UCSB; six AI/ML papers published while in high school, three at NeurIPS). Y Combinator Fall 2026.
