🚀 Australia's first orbital rocket lasted just 14 seconds in the air

Eris, the 30-ton rocket from Gilmour Space, launched from Bowen Spaceport — and promptly crashed. But the company is calling it a win.

🔸 First Australian-made rocket to launch from local soil
🔸 Flew for 14 seconds, with 23 seconds of engine burn
🔸 Crash caused no injuries or environmental harm
🔸 Valuable flight data collected for next test
🔸 Prior attempts were delayed by power surges and high winds
🔸 CEO: "Getting off the pad is a huge step forward"

💡Even failure is a milestone when you're building a space industry from scratch. Australia's now officially in the orbital launch game — and they’re just getting started.

📣 Why Sam Altman Says You Shouldn’t Track User Growth Early On

In the early stages of a startup, it’s not about how many users you have — it’s about how much they love your product.

Altman explains why obsession with absolute growth is a mistake, and what you should focus on instead:

🔸 A small group of obsessed users is better than a wide pool of casual ones
🔸 Deep engagement signals product-market fit more than raw numbers
🔸 Retention and frequency are your best early metrics
🔸 Word-of-mouth is the ultimate validation

Almost all great companies start with a product that a few people love.

📈 Figma stock pops on IPO debut, hits $47B market cap

Figma finally went public—and Wall Street couldn’t get enough. The design platform opened at $33, surged to $124, and closed at $115.50, ending the day with a $47B market cap.

🔸 IPO demand was so high, trading was briefly halted due to volatility
🔸 Retail buyers joked online about being allocated just 1 share
🔸 Market cap doubled Adobe’s failed $20B acquisition offer from 2023
🔸 After-hours trading stayed hot, with continued price action

Figma didn’t just rebound from a blocked deal—it sprinted past it.

🧊 Frozen for 30 Years: The Oldest Embryo Baby Born in the US

A boy named Thaddeus Daniel Peirce was born in Ohio from an embryo frozen 30.5 years ago — the longest-known frozen embryo to result in a live birth.

🔸 The embryo was created in 1994 and stored by Linda Archerd, who gave birth to one child that year and kept the remaining embryos frozen for decades, paying $1,000 annually.
🔸 With age and menopause, Archerd decided to donate the embryos, but only to a white, Christian, married US couple.
🔸 The Snowflakes program from Nightlight Christian Adoptions matched the embryos to Lindsay and Tim Peirce, a couple who had tried to conceive for 7 years.
🔸 Rejoice Fertility Clinic in Tennessee performed the transfer — one embryo didn’t survive thawing, but two implanted, and one led to birth.
🔸 Most clinics refuse to work with outdated freezing methods. Rejoice’s founder believes every embryo “deserves a chance at life.”

A surreal mix of faith, biotech — and long-term moral investment.

🧠 Y Combinator shares fresh ideas for AI-first startups

Ahead of its fall batch, Y Combinator revealed new directions it’s excited to fund — all rooted in the belief that modern startups should treat AI not as a feature, but as the foundation.

Here’s what YC wants to see 👇

🔸 AI-powered training for skilled trades
Think plumbers and electricians trained via VR, with AI tutors giving live feedback and adapting lessons in real time.

🔸 Generative video as a building block
Not final product, but part of the stack — from no-code game creation to virtual clothing try-ons and AI “calls” with digital versions of deceased relatives.

🔸 Infrastructure for multi-agent systems
Startups that can help developers manage huge webs of AI agents — prompt routing, context reliability, debugging at scale.

🔸 AI-native enterprise software
A new Salesforce or ServiceNow, but built for the AI era — tools that actually assist teams, not just log data.

🔸 Ultra-lean, AI-leveraged startups
YC believes a 10-person team can now build a $100B company — if it uses AI to move fast and stay small.

🔸 AI replacing legacy govtech
$100B/year goes to old software in the US government. YC wants startups like Caucus or Archon that cut this cost with modern, AI-native tools.

Applications for the fall batch close August 4.
And yes, they still offer $500K for 7% — plus another slice after your next raise.

The message is clear: build with AI at the core — or get left behind.

📣 Bezos on the power shift from marketing to product

In a 2012 interview, Jeff Bezos predicted a major change in how companies should think:

Word-of-mouth is more powerful than it has ever been before.

He argued that the old playbook — 70% marketing, 30% product — was dying.
In the past, you could win with a mediocre product if your marketing was strong enough.

But in the age of social media and instant feedback?

If I build a great product or service, my customers will tell each other.

Bezos’ takeaway: focus relentlessly on product. In a world where people talk, quality sells itself.

🧪 PlayerZero is building an immune system for your code

Most tools try to speed up developers. But bottlenecks often sit elsewhere — like in QA. That’s where PlayerZero steps in: AI agents that detect and fix bugs before production, trained on your repo’s history.

🔸 Learns from past incidents, patches, and test cases
🔸 Suggests auto-fixes directly in pull requests
🔸 Designed for complex monorepos and legacy systems
🔸 Hooks into CI/CD in minutes
🔸 Used by teams like Zuora to monitor billing infra
🔸 Just raised $15M from the likes of Databricks' founder and Vercel’s CEO

Fun fact: the founder demoed it to the creator of Next.js — who didn’t believe it at first, but then invested.

While tools like Cursor’s Bugbot chase AI code review, PlayerZero goes for the full loop: detect → explain → fix.
And they’re betting on enterprise complexity as the wedge.

QA might be the next frontier for AI agents.
If devs write fewer bugs — and agents catch the rest — what’s left for the human tester? 🤔
