The Y Combinator W16 batch (Winter 2016) brought 82 tech startups into our index. This page lists every W16 company we currently track, with logos, taglines, and links straight to their own sites — no paywalled middleman. Notable W16 companies include Deepgram, Able Health, AmberBox Gunshot Detection, Apollo.io, and Astranis. Each profile surfaces team size, founding year, location, and open roles when their careers page is publicly scrapable. The W16 cohort skews toward Healthcare, Consumer, and Dev Tools — common patterns we see in this batch. Recurring tags across these companies: SaaS, B2B, Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, Developer Tools. The directory's filter UI accepts any of them as a query. Geographically, the W16 batch we have leans toward San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, with the rest spread across remote-first teams and other hubs. 1 of these is currently flagged as trending based on momentum signals; and the listing refreshes whenever the scrape runs, so changes propagate without a manual edit.
