Using the Golden Research Engine to Query the Y Combinator S19 Batch

[TekMol]

The batch looks like it's full of established companies with polished products and big clients.

Wasn't YC about funding people before they even have a product?

Now that YC has deal flow from more established companies, it no longer needs to take the same kind of risk.

How is this different from AirTable or any other of the dozen of online spreadsheet tools? Just looks like an auto-aggregated table.

Serious question: Where's the "research" here? Sorry, not trying to be antagonistic, just not seeing what's new here.

YC is really operating at scale now!!

Thanks, Jude! From a quick scan, it seems there are quite a few companies in direct competition--particularly in: 1) incoming sharing education, 2) bespoke computer processors, 3) medical billing, and 4) recruiting software.

Good observation! I don't think any of the ISA companies were direct competitors, but the number of companies that planned to earn revenue with ISAs this batch was super interesting to me.

off-topic, @glennon, I remember you compiled a list of all YC companies under github/investor-school before their official launches on demo days. Was expecting similar for YC S19. Not doing it this time?

Where are you seeing the YC companies building computer processors?
