How do I use this list when applying to YC?

Pick five companies on this page whose product is closest to yours, read their reconstructed applications side by side in YC Insights, and note how each answers the same question. Then write your own answers to that standard.

Where does this data come from?

From YC's public company directory, refreshed by batch, with each company's status, industry and location as YC reports them. Round Funded adds the reconstructed application and the founder profiles; nothing private is published.
