What YC Is Really Betting On?
An X-ray of 793 YC startups
What does the average YC company actually look like? I scraped 793 startups and 1,625 founder bios from the last 5 batches to find out. 27 interactive charts covering: which industries are surging, which are dying, what founders have in common, how partners pick companies, hidden themes in descriptions, and the exact statistical profile of a "default" YC startup. Some surprises: YC funds direct competitors in the same batch. And every partner has a type. Free. No login
