CB Insights - Y Combinator’s new crop

Hi there, 

It’s that time of year again: Y Combinator has graduated another batch of startups. 

The incubator’s 33rd Demo Day featured 350+ companies, hailing from over 40 countries. 

You can dig into all of the cos and their data with this search on the CB Insights platform. If you don’t already have a CBI account, create one here.

In the search, filter companies by industry, country, founded year, and more (see the selection below). It’s that easy. 

See all of the data here. 

Once you’re finished with that, check out our ranking of the top seed-stage founders to come out of YC this past year and see the W21 Demo Day companies here.

SPAC attack
 

SPACs can now list on Singapore’s benchmark index, as the financial maneuver diffuses across the globe. 

At the same time, increased regulatory scrutiny and lagging market performance have roiled the blank-check boom.

See where SPACs stand in 2021 here.

I’m calling security
 

With companies depending more on technology for their operations, cyber attacks are becoming more frequent. 

To protect critical operations and data, companies must now navigate a fragmented and quickly evolving cybersecurity market. 

We mapped out 160+ cybersecurity companies that are addressing everything from cloud security to threat intelligence in this client-only market map.

Blockchain real estate

The global real estate market is valued at around $280T, making it one of the largest markets on earth.

At the same time, it’s one of the most illiquid and nontransparent markets out there.

In other words: a recipe for blockchain disruption.

Blockdata took a deep dive into how blockchain will change the real estate market here.
