About Y Combinator

Y Combinator (YC) is an American technology startup accelerator and venture capital firm launched in March 2005. It invests $500,000 in early-stage startups — $125,000 for 7% equity and $375,000 via an uncapped MFN SAFE — in exchange for participation in a roughly 11-week program. YC's mission is to help founders make something people want, offering seed capital, mentorship, a global alumni network, and access to its private founder platform, Bookface. Landmark alumni include Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox, DoorDash, Coinbase, Reddit, Instacart, and Scale AI.
