What We DoY Combinator provides seed
funding for startups. Seed funding is the earliest stage of venture
funding. It pays your expenses while you’re getting started.
Some
companies may need no more than seed funding. Others will go through
several rounds. There is no right answer; how much funding you need
depends on the kind of company you start.
At Y Combinator, our
goal is to get you through the first phase. This usually means: get you
to the point where you’ve built something impressive enough to raise
money on a larger scale. Then we can introduce you to later stage
investors—or occasionally even acquirers.
