Outrove

YCombinator

Synthetic populations for decisions

Surveys ask people what they think they’ll do. Focus groups ask a handful of people to explain behavior they often don’t understand themselves. Outrove simulates entire populations instead. We create AI agents that model how real audiences behave, letting companies, governments, and investors test decisions in minutes: what product to launch, what price to set, what campaign to run, what policy will work, or how a market will move. The output is not another dashboard. It’s a prediction of what will happen, which segments will drive it, and what decision is most likely to win.

Outschool

YCombinator

A live online learning platform that empowers kids ages 3–18.

Outschool is an innovative education platform that offers a variety of engaging, small-group classes online. Unlike traditional classes, Outschool classes give kids the unique opportunity to explore their interests in-depth via interactive, live video by experienced, independent educators. When Outschool was founded in 2015, homeschoolers were the first to discover our classes, but it wasn’t long before kids in conventional schools began supplementing their education with fun and unique, interest-based classes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Outschool became vital to families who wanted to keep kids learning, social, and pursuing their passions. Today, Outschool offers more than 140,000 live online classes to more than 1,000,000 learners in 183 countries worldwide.

Overshoot

YCombinator

AI Infra for real-time vision applications

Overshoot makes it easy for developers to build and run real-time vision applications. AI can see and understand the physical world. This unlocks new applications in physical security, safety, gaming, robotics and general consumer products. Soon, video agents will watch your home and your pet when you’re away. However, existing platforms make it painful for developers to build these real-time applications. Slow inference. Limited model availability. Break at scale. Overshoot solves this. Today, 300+ developers connect live video feeds to the largest collection of Vision Language Models with 3 lines of code. And get responses in less than 200ms. 10x faster than any existing inference platform. Zero infra headache. Our moat is focus. Image and Video are fundamentally different modalities from text. By focusing on them, we are able to make strong technical leaps from codec, streaming protocols to inference engines. Younes and Zakaria are cousins. Zakaria graduated top of his class at LSE and MIT, and later built low-latency high-throughput pricing systems (surge) at Uber and inference engines at Meta. He previously built and sold a software product and won several prominent AI hackathons. Younes was a founding engineer at Cosmonio (later acquired by Intel). He built a training and serving Computer Vision platform from scratch. He witnessed firsthand customers abandoning traditional Computer Vision because it lacked the “general” intelligence LLMs have today. Together we’ve shipped large-scale systems and know where they break.
