YC in the market map
Grey: every neighbourhood in the market. Orange: YC listings — labelled where the market around them repriced beyond ±5% in 30 days, hollow on the midline where quiet. 14 YC listings measurable so far; this fills in automatically as pricing and substitute coverage grow. Same rules as the edges map.
Batch momentum

Use this data
The full cohort is JSON at GET /api/yc. Pricing, benchmarks and neighbourhood trends live on each listing’s market page and the Agentery MCP — YC here is provenance over normal listings, not a separate dataset.
Methodology
Cohort verified against the Y Combinator company directory (29 Aug 2026); batches 2016–2026. Companies flow through the normal Agentery intake — no special treatment. “Observed” prices are scraped from vendors’ public pricing pages. “Comparable market” ranges describe what a listing’s accepted commercial substitutes charge (P25–P75 of entry-plan monthly, dominant billing cohort, minimum 3 priced peers, abstain on wide spreads) — they are not the vendor’s own price and never feed any Agentery index. Density = distinct competing vendors at the calibrated similarity threshold, shown as a percentile of the whole directory. “30d market” = the Neighbourhood Price Index over each listing’s substitutes (the listing itself excluded); moves inside ±5% are treated as currency noise. Not investment advice.
