These London-based companies made it to 2023 Y Combinator Top Companies list; and they are hiring

Y Combinator, a startup accelerator, has published the list of “YC Top Companies 2023.” In the list, startups have been divided into 4 categories – YC’s top private, public, exited, and breakthrough companies.

Founded in 2005 by Paul Graham, Robert Morris, Trevor Blackwell, and Jessica Livingston, Y Combinator has quickly become one of the most influential organisations in the startup world. 

Y Combinator’s success is due in part to its focus on community. The company hosts events, dinners, and other gatherings where founders can meet and network with one another. 

This helps to create a supportive environment where founders can share ideas and learn from one another. Y Combinator also provides startups with access to a network of mentors who have experience building successful companies.

Today, over a dozen YC companies are public, more than 60 are valued at over $1B, and the combined valuation of YC alumni is over $600B.
