Rules

Ysee is a public discovery board for startups YC passed on. Anyone can list for free. Rank comes from the current visibility bid — nothing else.

Getting on the board

• Submit without an account.
• Confirm you applied to YC and weren't accepted (founder-claimed).
• Your startup appears immediately at the bottom. Bidding is optional.

Visibility bids

• Bids start at $2, whole dollars, up to $999,999.
• To move up, bid higher than the startup above you (pay the new amount).
• To take #1, bid at least $1 above the current #1.
• Payments are final. Leaderboard updates after payment confirms.
• Bids above $50 need the Verified mark — upload your YC decision email on your startup page. We check the signature, not the story.

Fair play

• One listing per website.
• Founder email must be able to receive mail. A “Team email” chip means it's on the startup's own domain.
• We may hide spam, fraud, or abusive submissions.
• Not affiliated with Y Combinator.
