Y Combinator companies on Recent Funding
Every company Recent Funding links to Y Combinator as of September 26, 2026, by industry and stage, with sourced amounts for the ones whose raise is known, and how other accelerators compare.
As of September 26, 2026, Recent Funding links 153 active companies to Y Combinator. Most were added recently: 150 of them were first seen on or after August 1, 2026. Only 18 have a funding amount with a source link, so this post is mostly a directory rather than a ranking of rounds.
How a company counts as YC-backed
Recent Funding uses the same rule on the site, in the API's accelerator=yc filter, and in this post. A company counts when either:
- one of its investors is named Y Combinator, or
- its name or description mentions Y Combinator,
@ycombinator, or a batch code such as "YC S26". A batch code right after someone else's handle, such as "@founder (YC S24)", is ignored, because it usually describes a founder's earlier company.
This is a detection rule, not a list published by Y Combinator. A company that never mentions YC and has no investor record will be missed.
