YC’s agentic economy
Where Y Combinator is investing, how crowded those markets are, and whether prices there are rising or falling — one map.
117 shown
Tap a dot to see the company; pinch-zoom to reveal all labels.
Each dot is one YC-backed company, coloured by batch year, placed by how crowded its market is (x) and how the prices of its commercial substitutes moved over 30 days (y, Neighbourhood Price Index — the company’s own price is excluded). Solid dots sit at their true value — unlike /edges, the ±5% band is shown here in an expanded centre (⫽-marked), because at cohort scale the small moves are the signal. Hollow dots on the 0% line: neighbourhood not yet measurable. Grey cloud: the whole agentic market.
Chart population: 117 of 117 YC listings placeable (a listing needs a measured neighbourhood to get a dot) · 56 with measured neighbourhoods, 12 of which repriced in 30d · the tables below use the full listed cohort, so their counts can exceed the dots · coverage grows nightly.
YC companies mostly compete with the open market, not each other.
97% of the competitor slots around YC listings are non-YC (1,303 distinct outside products). Most recurring: item_app · big_brain_way · AI Receptionist / Voice AI · puretalk · AI Agent for Finance Workflow Automation
Batch momentum (median neighbourhood 30d): 2026 0.0% (17) · 2025 0.0% (17) · 2024 0.0% (13) · 2023 0.0% (6)

Cohort JSON: 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
Tracked cohort: YC-backed companies from the Y Combinator company directory (verified 29 Aug 2026), batches 2016–2026, that have an Agentery listing with a usable website; companies flow through the normal Agentery intake, so the cohort is what Agentery has indexed, not every YC company. “Least indexed competition” means few indexed substitutes on Agentery: sparse indexed competition does not establish commercial whitespace in the wider market. “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) — never the vendor’s own price, never an input to any Agentery index. Density = distinct competing vendors at the calibrated similarity threshold, as a percentile of the whole directory. Neighbourhood Price Index = chained like-for-like index over a listing’s substitutes, listing itself excluded; moves inside ±5% treated as currency noise. Not investment advice.
