Its batch

Winter 2016 had 122 companies in YC's listing: 58 Active, 23 Acquired, 1 Public and 40 Inactive, so Patchwork Security is one of 40 companies from that batch listed as Inactive (33%). Across YC batches at least two years old, 23% of companies are listed Inactive.

Statuses are Y Combinator's own listing in its public company directory, read on the date shown. YC's directory can drop companies altogether, so the Inactive counts here are a floor, not a full count of companies that stopped. Acquired and Public are as YC lists them; neither says anything about the price or the outcome for founders.

The record: Patchwork Security in the Y Combinator directory. Measured 2026-11-10 from Y Combinator's company directory.
