Public description
About the program
Y Combinator is a sector-agnostic accelerator that has funded a large number of healthcare and biotech startups, though it does not run a formally separate healthcare track. Each batch runs three months, kicking off with a three-day in-person retreat and continuing with weekly meetups in San Francisco, ending in Demo Day. YC states it funds startups in any field, from microbes to fusion reactors.
