Y Combinator operates additional programs and a fund designed to support and invest in startups which have already graduated from the main accelerator program. The Series A Program, YC Post-A Program, YC Growth Program, and YC Continuity fund are operated by the same team and focus on helping fast growing YC startups, and startups raising their Series B funding of $20 million to $100 million.[33][34]

The growing batch size is particularly helpful for any B2B companies in the batch. For B2B companies the larger batch sizes mean that there are a greater number of companies to sell into. Which can be hugely valuable ahead of demo day and beyond. It was very valuable for our business as we launched mid-batch in July and we were able to onboard our first customers from our batch shortly thereafter.
During Y Combinator we measure growth rate per week, partly because there is so little time before Demo Day, and partly because startups early on need frequent feedback from their users to tweak what they're doing.A good growth rate during YC is 5-7% a week.If you can hit 10% a week you're doing exceptionally well. If you can only manage 1%, it's a sign you haven't yet figured out what you're doing.
