How this works

1. The roster

Every launched company in YC's public directory, with its batch, status, industry and location. New companies show up the week YC lists them.

2. The numbers

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.

3. The lists

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.

Built with Crustdata. Get your own API key and build your own.

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.

  • Company search for team size, growth and funding
  • Job search with a count by company, for who is hiring and for what
  • A watch that re-runs the search weekly and sends only what changed
