I have to admit that I'm missing the take-over-the-world/crazy-moonshot kind of company among the entries. I appreciate that Y-Combinator is a commercial institution with commercial goals and that personalized daily vitamin packs, better SaaS conversion and AI-powered programming are all sensible iterations on existing themes - but wouldn't there have been space for at least one next-gen Googe/Space X/Hyperloop sort of venture? Surely someone applied that'd fit that bill.

Didn't Google just start to 'build a better search engine'? It wouldn't have seemed like a crazy moonshot at the start.

They don't announce all companies from the batch, only the ones that are ready to go "public".

Looking at previous, recent batches, you'd be hard pressed to find startups that look seemingly undoable/like a joke (which are usually the ones with huge potential). For me, only Boom and a couple biotech companies make the list.
