Y Combinator's directory lists 174 companies in the Summer 2019 batch: 100 Active, 26 Acquired, 0 Public and 48 Inactive. 28% of Summer 2019 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.
