What Is Y Combinator?
Y Combinator is a Silicon Valley seed money startup accelerator founded in 2005. It helps early-stage startups with funding, mentorship, and resources.
Twice a year, Y Combinator invests $500,000 in promising startups, with a select few of applicants accepted into the program. Airbnb, Quora, Reddit, Stripe, Webflow, and Taskade (that’s us!) are among the thousands of companies the accelerator has supported.
