Its batch

Winter 2022 had 403 companies in YC's listing: 311 Active, 39 Acquired, 0 Public and 53 Inactive, so Skillza is one of 53 companies from that batch listed as Inactive (13%). 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: Skillza in the Y Combinator directory. Measured 2026-11-10 from Y Combinator's company directory.
