Y Combinator の2023年夏バッチのデモデイに集まった起業家の皆さんImage credit: Y Combinator. 先週、Y Combinator （YC）が2023年夏バッチのデモデイを開催した。24,000チームの応募から200チームが選ばれ、発表した企業の75％は採択時点でマネタイズができていないアーリースタートアップだった。コロナ禍ではオンライン参加が多かったこともあり世界中のスタートアップが集積したが、コロナ沈静化で対面制に復帰したこともあり、多くの採択チームがサンフランシスコに拠点を置いていた。. 分野でみると、採択チームの7割が B2B SaaS／エンタープライズ分野だった。また、今バッチの最大の特徴は AI 関連が多く採択されたことだ。60％以上の企業が AI 関連であることがわかった。YC のデモデイはシリコンバレーで最も人気のあるアーリー投資イベントの一つだが、投資家たちの関心が以前と同じではないということがわかる。投資家たちは、デモデイ登壇よりも前に全チームに会う機会を得て、条件が合えば投資を実行しているそうだ。
