Its batch

Summer 2023 had 222 companies in YC's listing: 180 Active, 19 Acquired, 0 Public and 23 Inactive, so Smobi is one of 23 companies from that batch listed as Inactive (10%). 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: Smobi in the Y Combinator directory. Measured 2026-11-10 from Y Combinator's company directory.
