We’re excited to present the 2023 YC Top Companies!

The startups are separated into 3 lists: YC’s top private, public, and exited. Private companies and exits are sorted by the company's valuation from their latest funding round, and all are valued at over $150M. Public companies are listed in alphabetical order.

The Breakthrough Companies list highlights the fast-growing companies we’ve doubled down on – which means they’ve all received significant additional investment from YC in their post-Demo Day rounds.
