yc-reader

Look up Y Combinator companies, batches, and startup ecosystem data using the yc-oss API (read-only). Use this skill whenever the user wants to research YC-backed startups, find companies in a specific batch or industry, check which YC companies are hiring, explore top YC companies, or analyze startup trends by sector or tag. Triggers include: "YC companies in fintech", "who's in the latest YC batch", "YC startups hiring", "top Y Combinator companies", "find YC companies tagged AI", "W25 batch", "S24 companies", "YC stats", "Y Combinator portfolio", "startup research", "which YC companies do X", "venture research on YC", any mention of Y Combinator, YC batch, or YC-backed companies in the context of startup research, venture analysis, or market intelligence. This is a read-only data source — the API is a static JSON dataset updated daily.
