Y Combinator (YC) is the world’s most influential startup accelerator, setting the gold standard for early-stage funding and mentorship. Since its launch in 2005, YC has backed thousands of startups, including Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox, proving that small bets on bold ideas can lead to world-changing companies.
YC’s model is simple yet powerful—founders receive seed funding, join an intense three-month program, and gain access to an unmatched network of mentors, investors, and alumni. Beyond funding, YC helps startups refine their business models, navigate early challenges, and pitch to top-tier investors on Demo Day.
More than an accelerator, YC has become a movement—democratizing startup success and proving that with the right support, transformative ideas can come from anywhere.
