Image": Scale AI is indeed a YC combinator graduate.

Hello Everyone,

While it’s relatively hard to evaluate YC startups, Y Combinator (YC) hosted demo days are an opportunity to check some of them out.

Y Combinator is an American technology startup accelerator launched in March 2005. It has been used to launch more than 3,000 companies, including Airbnb, Coinbase, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Instacart, Quora, PagerDuty, Reddit, Stripe and Twitch.

Their startup directory is fairly interesting to sort though and review.

All-Time

As startup accelerators have popped up all over the world, innovation is done differently thanks to them. This is no different in the A.I. space, where many startups attempt to be A.I. startups at the intersection of xyz.

Early stage startups have always fascinated me in that there is a talent, leadership, product-market and local region component that can determine how they do and how they get funding.

If we sort the YC list for all batches and for A.I, we get a grand total of 184 companies.

I think for this study we’ll focus on more recent ones. To get full access to this list, buy me a cup of coffee.
