Y Combinator F26

Y Combinator's Fall 2026 batch is upcoming and currently shows placeholder data with 1 registered company. This batch will continue YC's quad-annual cohort model, with each company receiving $125,000 for 7% equity on a post-money SAFE, plus an additional $375,000 uncapped MFN SAFE, totaling $500,000. The F26 batch will represent a new generation of YC founders tackling emerging opportunities and challenges in technology, energy, healthcare, AI, and other domains. Applications for the F26 batch have likely begun or will begin soon, attracting ambitious founders from around the world. The batch will benefit from YC's extensive network, experienced mentors, and significant capital resources. The F26 cohort will be valuable for prospective founders considering YC, investors tracking the YC pipeline and startup trends, and researchers interested in the future of entrepreneurship. Once the batch concludes, this page will be updated with actual cohort size, notable companies, and milestones from the F26 experience.
