Stealth Startup Spy #189 - Y Combinator F24

The Y Combinator F24 Demo Day is around the corner! Here's a final look at the full YCF24 batch.

Y Combinator’s Fall 2024 Batch Demo Day is next week. (Wednesday, December 4th)

We’ve picked up just under 100 companies (202 founders) in this batch with a few still remaining in stealth. Here’s the full look at the Y Combinator Fall 2024 batch.

We’ve already seen some pretty impressive demos from this Fall batch.

The velocity of new companies and innovation going through these batches will only have increased with 4 batches. Since YC is holding new cohorts year-round, ~100 companies seem to be the target rather than 250+.

So let’s dive into the final highlights from the upcoming Y Combinator Fall 2024 batch. Download Full YC F24 Batch List

• 80% are building in AI

• A heavy trend of companies have described themselves as AI Agents for _________.

• 88% B2B vs 10% B2C & 2% B2B2C

• 16% are women-founded companies

• 23% are founded by Former FAANG employees

FYI - This data set contains Founder Names, Job Title, FounderDNA, Email, Company, Website, Descriptions, and much more.

We’ve tracked everything through stealth mode announcements, pivots, name changes and rebrands making this the most complete data set of YC F24 batch founders.
