Frequently Asked Questions
How do I query a specific batch?
Enter a batch code such as 'W26' or 'S26', or a specific YC company name. The tool then pulls X posts mentioning those startups and ranks them by how much traction-relevant chatter each is generating.
What kinds of signals does it surface?
Buzz volume, customer testimonials ('we switched to X and...'), traction claims (users, revenue, waitlist), product-launch reactions, and fundraise leaks where founders or others hint at a round.
Can it tell which startup in a batch is breaking out?
It ranks batch companies by mention volume and engagement, so the ones generating disproportionate chatter rise to the top — a useful early proxy for which startups are getting real pull versus polite applause.
How fresh is the data?
It reads recent live X activity, so a launch or viral testimonial from this week shows up — unlike static lists that only reflect a batch's official roster. This makes it useful right through a batch's active cycle and around Demo Day.
How accurate are the fundraise-leak signals?
Fundraise mentions are pulled from public posts, which range from confirmed announcements to speculation and founder teasers. Confirmed-by-the-founder leaks are stronger; third-party rumours are flagged as lower confidence and should be verified before you rely on them.
Does it cover companies that aren't tagged with the batch code?
It works best when posts reference the batch or the company by name. A startup that's getting buzz without anyone mentioning its YC affiliation may be under-counted, so pairing a batch search with specific company names gives the fullest picture.
Is it free?
Yes — 5 free runs daily, no signup. Pro at $19/month removes the cap for tracking a full batch continuously.
