Some YC companies are achieving profitability quickly, allowing them to focus on building their business without the pressure of additional funding rounds.

YC's unfair advantages include having exceptional founders and a strong belief in technology companies as the future of billion-dollar businesses.

YC has expanded to fund more companies and geographies, significantly increasing the number of companies we support each year.

YC's approach to funding is non-traditional; we prioritize building relationships with founders over just focusing on returns.

YC's demo day provides a unique opportunity to connect with a large number of investors, which can significantly accelerate funding efforts for startups.

YC helps shift the leverage back to founders, making it easier for them to connect with investors who treat them well, despite the fundraising process still being unpredictable.

Investors in Y Combinator companies are top-tier VCs, frequently investing in these startups and often making multiple investments.

Among YC companies valued over a hundred million, about half of the co-founding teams met in school, primarily during their undergraduate years.

YC has an investor database where founders provide feedback on investors they've worked with. This helps encourage good investor behavior and serves as a valuable resource when deciding whom to prioritize for funding.
