Every launched company in YC's public directory, with its batch, status, industry and location. New companies show up the week YC lists them.
Each company is matched to Crustdata by its website. Crustdata adds team size and its change over 6 and 12 months, open roles from job postings, reported funding, and founders' past employers.
Hiring the most counts distinct roles posted in the last 60 days. Growth needs 10+ people today, shrinking 20+ a year ago, so tiny teams do not top the lists. Rebuilt every week.
The numbers on this page come from three Crustdata API calls. Crustdata tags 5,000+ companies with Y Combinator as an investor; swap the filter for any investor, industry or headcount range and track your own list, with founders' work emails one call away.
