Our take
Y Combinator (YC) is a force in the world of startups, serving as both a startup fund and an accelerator program. Since its inception in 2005, YC has invested in nearly 3,000 companies, a portfolio that boasts household names like Airbnb, DoorDash, Stripe, Instacart, Dropbox, and Coinbase.
YC's strength lies in its support ecosystem, which aids founders at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey. From Startup School, where budding entrepreneurs learn the fundamentals of launching a company, to the intensive YC batch program, which guides founders in product development, customer engagement, and fundraising, YC offers invaluable resources and mentorship to help startups flourish.
In recent years, YC has garnered remarkable attention and demonstrated its global reach by receiving a record-breaking 44,000 applications for its program, marking the highest influx of aspiring startups yet. However, this surge in demand has coincided with a strikingly low acceptance rate, standing at a mere 1%. This underscores the fierce competition and the high standards YC maintains when selecting the startups it chooses to invest in and mentor. As the startup landscape continues to evolve, YC is poised to remain a driving force in shaping the future of innovation.
