What happened to YC Summer 2015

Every company in Y Combinator's Summer 2015 batch with its status as YC lists it: 44 Active, 29 Acquired, 0 Public, 31 Inactive.

Active42%
Acquired or public28%
Inactive30%

Y Combinator's directory lists 104 companies in the Summer 2015 batch: 44 Active, 29 Acquired, 0 Public and 31 Inactive. 30% of Summer 2015 is listed Inactive, against 23% across YC batches at least two years old, so this batch has lost more companies than most.

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.

How this is measured

Measured 2026-09-26 from Y Combinator's company directory. Team size is the number YC lists for the company, where it lists one. Survival here means listed Active; Acquired and Public are shown separately because YC's listing does not say whether an acquisition was a good outcome.
