YC Launch: Hundred
Hundred · Nov 2026 · 1:00 · AI-annotated · YC Fall 2026
The video follows a problem-to-solution arc: a rapid 3D flip of news headlines, locked-off founder interviews cut with factory and lab B-roll, a 3D hardware reveal, a clean UI walkthrough, and a morphing logo. Signature moves include 3D cards that flatten into flat pages, slam-on stamps, a fixed dark caption bar with rolling uppercase captions, and a smooth camera dive into the inspection unit.
