I built this map that shows every YCombinator company worldwide (5,300+ and counting). You can explore by batch, country, or city.

I made this because I was curious about where YC founders are concentrated, and I wanted a more visual way to browse them.

• The map is powered by FoundersAround, a side project where I explore data about founders/startups

• You can filter by batch or region

• Clicking on a cluster shows all companies on it

• Clicking a company shows basic details (logo, description, website, etc)

Love that all the WFH jobs land in some tiny little West Coast town named Remote, California, that clearly couldn't support 83 yCombs.

This is really cool. A big YC advantage is instant access to 5,000 plus peer companies as warm leads. That built in network makes early cross selling much easier than starting cold.

Doesn’t seem to work on mobile iOS - clicking an icon of “2” doesn’t open anything, and then zooming back out the icons didn’t reload for the zoomed out area
