They look at your company and your product, your value addition. Which probably you've already proved, by the time you've gotten into YC.

If your other customers are also companies then the YC brand may have an effect (e.g. Stripe). If it's for consumers, maybe not (e.g. Airbnb).

Consider applying for YC's Summer 2026 batch! Applications are open till May 4
