Skills & Agents - YC Founder Night

🌟 Overview Anyone can build a demo now — the harder question is what comes next. 🤖 Hosted by FinChip.ai with GMI Cloud and Topify, YC Founder Night brings YC founders, AI builders, infrastructure leaders, investors, and leaders from Coinbase and Circle into one room to trace the path: ➡️ demo → product → users → revenue → infra → payments → agent markets. We’ll explore what comes after the demo: real users, monetization, developer platforms, stablecoins, programmable payments, and the financial infrastructure needed for AI agents to transact and scale. Featuring speakers from Coinbase Developer Platform, Circle, GMI Cloud, FinChip.ai, Linea VC, Sixty Degree Capital, Prosperity7, and YC-backed startups including Besimple AI, Openmart, QualGent, and Ontora. 📋 Details 📅 Date: Wednesday, June 24, 2026 ⏰ Time: 5:00 – 8:00 PM 📍 Location: Sky9 Office, 577 2nd Street, Suite 103, San Francisco 🎤 Format: Keynotes + Demos + Panel Discussions 🗓️ Agenda 5:00 – 5:25 PM · Check-in 5:25 – 5:30 PM · Opening Speech 5:30 – 6:00 PM · YC Demos — Founder Lightning Talks 6:00 – 6:05 PM · Flash Talk - FinChip.ai 6:06 – 6:11 PM · Lightning Talks — Infrastructure 6:15 – 7:33 PM · Panel Discussions 7:33 – 7:40 PM · Closing Speech 7:40 – 8:00 PM · Networking 🎙️ Speakers 👩‍💻 YC Founders Yi Zhong — Co-Founder, Besimple AI (YC P25) Kathryn Wu — Co-Founder, Openmart (YC W24) Aaron Yu — Co-Founder & CTO, QualGent (YC P25) Maximilian Arnold — Co-Founder & COO, Ontora (YC S26) ⚙️ Infrastructure & Ecosystem Yijie Hong — Director of Engineering, GMI Cloud Gary Yang — Incubation Investor, FinChip.AI Kevin Leffew — GTM Lead, Coinbase Developer Platform Gagan Mac — VP Product, Circle Chenglin Wei — CTO, Topify 💰 Investors Chelsey Huang — Co-Founder & CIO, FinChip.AI John Lin — Managing Partner, Linea VC Brett Liu — Investment Lead, Sixty Degree Capital Viki Huang — Investor, Prosperity7 🎬 Host & Moderator Coco Wang — Main Host & Livestream Lead, FinChip.AI 18VC Podcast — Panel Moderator ✨ Why You Should Join 🎯 Hear it straight from YC founders — what really worked after Demo Day 🏗️ Meet the infra that makes agents real — compute, payments, stablecoins, skill markets 💡 Get the investor lens on what's investable in the agent economy 🌐 Be early to agent markets 🤝 Network with YC and AI founders, builders, operators, and investors 🏛️ Hosts & Partners 🔵 Hosted by FinChip.AI — the infrastructure for AI value tokenization and capitalization, turning agent skills into ownable, tradable on-chain assets. ☁️ Co-hosted by GMI Cloud & Topify 🎙️ Partnered with ME Group, GoodVision AI
