Frequently asked questions
Does it include older batches?
Yes. The directory covers YC companies from every batch.
Can I see only companies that are hiring?
Yes. Set Hiring to Hiring now.
Is Y Combinator Company Search free?
It needs a SandBase account. This API is in the SandBase daily free quota (100 calls per organization per day, shared, reset at 00:00 UTC); after that each run costs about $0.01 on your SandBase account.
Can I call this API directly?
Yes. This page calls ycombinator/search-companies on SandBase. Call POST /v1/api/ycombinator/search-companies with your SandBase API key; the request example is above.
Are my searches stored?
No. The Lab forwards this one request to SandBase and shows the answer; it keeps neither the input nor the result on the server.
