About Y Combinator

Y Combinator runs a startup accelerator that invests $500k in each selected company, with $125k for 7% on a post-money SAFE and $375k on an uncapped SAFE with an MFN. Batches run four times a year, from winter to fall. During each three-month program, founders work in groups led by YC partners, attend office hours, and present at Demo Day to investors. The program also includes a founder platform called Bookface, weekly speaker talks and public launch support.

Its customers are early-stage startup founders, and it earns its return through equity stakes taken in the companies it funds. Support continues after the program, with ongoing office hours for alumni from all previous batches and a network of 6,000+ alumni. The company describes its funding model as first developed in 2005. Garry Tan is President and CEO.

Y Combinator is based in San Francisco, where its batches meet and where its weekly meetups are held. The open roles listed cover software and product engineering, editorial and video production, investment, and front-desk work in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Product: Seed accelerator program with $500k investment per company, three-month batch program, Demo Day, and founder community including Bookface.
