Y Combinator Founders with LinkedIn, Titles and Bios

Try for free

One row per founder of a Y Combinator company: name, title, bio, LinkedIn and Twitter, with the company beside them. The directory search YC publishes holds no people at all, so this reads the company pages. Filter by batch, industry, region or tag, or name the companies yourself.

founderUserId

Optional

Y Combinator's own id for the person, as a string. Stable across runs and the column to join on. A founder of two YC companies keeps one id and appears once per company.

Type:string | null

founderName

Optional

The founder's full name as YC publishes it.

Type:string | null

founderTitle

Optional

Their title at this company, in YC's words, for example Founder/CEO or Founder.

Type:string | null

founderBio

Optional

The bio YC publishes for them. Empty for most founders of older batches: on a 47-founder sample of 2013 and 2015 companies, 31 had none. YC writes a missing bio as null on one record and as an empty string on the next, and both arrive here as empty.

Type:string | null

linkedinUrl

Optional

Their LinkedIn profile, when YC has one. Present for 56 of 58 founders in a Winter 2024 sample.

Type:string | null

twitterUrl

Optional

Their Twitter or X profile, when YC has one. Present for 23 of 58 in the same sample, so an empty column is normal here.

Type:string | null

avatarUrl

Optional

Their photo. This is a PRESIGNED link that stops working about an hour after the run, which is why the next column exists. Download it during the run or treat it as temporary.

Type:string | null

avatarUrlExpiresAt

Optional

When avatarUrl stops working, read from the signature YC put in the link itself. Null means the link carried no expiry.

Type:string | null

founderIsActive

Optional

YC's own is_active flag on the founder record. Observed false for founders who have left, for example Zenefits' Parker Conrad, and true for founders still running their company. YC does not document it, so it is published exactly as YC publishes it and not renamed into a claim.

Type:boolean | null

ycHoldsAnEmail

Optional

YC's own has_email flag. It says YC holds an address for this person. The address itself is not published anywhere on the public site and is not in this dataset.

Type:boolean | null

latestYcCompanyName

Optional

The most recent YC company YC associates with this person, which is usually but not always the company on this row.

Type:string | null

latestYcCompanySlug

Optional

The slug of that company.

Type:string | null

latestYcCompanyIsThisOne

Optional

Whether the founder's latest YC company is the one on this row. False marks a serial founder who has moved on: 1 of 47 founders sampled from 2013 and 2015 batches was listed on one company with a latest company of another.

Type:boolean | null

companyId

Optional

YC's numeric id for the company, as a string.

Type:string | null

companySlug

Optional

The company's slug on ycombinator.com.

Type:string | null

companyName

Optional

The company this founder is listed on.

Type:string | null

companyYcUrl

Optional

Link to the company's Y Combinator page, which is the page this row was read from.

Type:string | null

companyWebsiteUrl

Optional

The company's own website, as YC records it.

Type:string | null

companyOneLiner

Optional

The one-line pitch under the company name.

Type:string | null

batch

Optional

The company's YC batch, for example Winter 2024.

Type:string | null

batchTerm

Optional

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, split out of the batch name.

Type:string | null

batchYear

Optional

The batch year, split out of the batch name so batches sort.

Type:number | null

companyStatus

Optional

Active, Inactive, Acquired or Public, as YC records it.

Type:string | null

companyStage

Optional

Early or Growth, YC's own two-value stage.

Type:string | null

companyTeamSize

Optional

Headcount as the company last reported it. Null means YC holds no number, not a team of zero.

Type:number | null

companyIndustry

Optional

The top-level industry YC files the company under.

Type:string | null

companySubindustry

Optional

The narrower industry, written as parent then child.

Type:string | null

companyTags

Optional

Product tags on the company.

Type:array

companyRegions

Optional

Regions YC places the company in. They overlap: a San Francisco company carries United States of America and America / Canada.

Type:array

companyLocations

Optional

The company's locations as one line of YC's own free text.

Type:string | null

companyIsHiring

Optional

YC's hiring flag on the company. Intent rather than open roles.

Type:boolean | null

companyIsTopCompany

Optional

Whether YC marks the company as a top company.

Type:boolean | null

foundersOnThisCompany

Optional

How many founders YC lists on this company, so a row says whether it is one of one or one of three.

Type:number | null

readFrom

Optional

The exact URL this founder was read from.

Type:string | null
