Скачать или смотреть From YC Pivot to Profit: The AI Tax Hack Creators Need

YC pivot. Creator taxes. Real savings.

Fernando from Beluga Labs explains how AI moves tax planning from “black box” to one-click, year-round optimization, starting with the messiest edge case: content creators.

In today’s episode, Nikki hosts Fernando (Beluga Labs, YC S24) on building AI-first tax planning for creators, why they pivoted in-batch, and how YC’s “light cone” advice shaped a focused GTM.

We cover messy creator income, quarterly taxes, line-by-line deductions, and fundraising with discipline…not vibes.

You’ll learn:
Why creators are the hardest (and best) wedge for tax software
How YC’s niche-first “light cone” shaped Beluga’s roadmap
The two biggest ways creators lose money on taxes (and how to stop it)
What a 3-star → 10-star tax UX looks like (from “not going to jail” to one-click refunds)
Fundraising discipline: setting milestone-based use of proceeds
The creator economy reality: followers ≠ revenue; niche and brand matter more
