What this startup network map shows

The YC network map brings the Spring 2026 and Summer 2026 startup cohorts into one research view. Its 312 cohort company records connect public company, founder, industry, batch, and group-partner context. Open a company to inspect the source-backed record, or use the live map to move between companies and related public attributes.

How to read the relationships

Map relationships describe shared source-record context such as cohort, industry, or group partner. They do not claim that two companies interacted, and they do not add points to a traction score. Scores and public evidence are documented separately in the methodology.

Open the live network map

Each map opens with its complete batch and can be narrowed by platform, industry, vertical, voice, partner, and topic.

Explore leading industries

Industry pages provide stable, crawlable company lists alongside the interactive map.
