Deep analysis of 793 Y Combinator companies across 5 batches (W25-W26). NLP clustering, founder archetypes, competitive overlap, AI vs deep-tech breakdown, partner preferences, and industry trends. Data from 1,625 founder bios.
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.
