Another Y Combinator Demo Day (really two days) concluded on Thursday, and there were plenty of intriguing and eye catching startups from the Bay Area and beyond that pitched their products and services.
The accelerator held the event online, again, but around half of the founders participated in the three-month program in person, many of whom moved out to the Bay Area just for the program.
Back in April, we noticed that there were several startups in the winter batch named after food. For the summer batch, the theme seemed to be naming companies after animals:
- Coverage Cat (New York)
- Access Owl (Mountain View/Berlin)
- Invofox (Madrid)
- Feather (Seattle)
- Hedgehog (Palo Alto)
- Pulppo (Mexico City)
- Videobug (Bengaluru/Sunnyvale)
- Slauth.io (Tel Aviv)
- Raven (Bengaluru)
- Wolfia (Mountain View/Austin)
- TigerEye (San Francisco)
There were many startups from around the world that caught our eyes. They include blood testing startups promising better health, robotic mushroom farming and an app for peer supported porn addiction recovery (though it's not clinically classified as an addiction, according to WebMD.)
