The remaining startups pitched on Wednesday during Y Combinator’s Winter Demo Day 2022 which had around 400 companies participating over two days via Zoom for the third year in a row.
Around half of the startups in the accelerator's Winter 2022 batch are based outside of the US, and one-fifth are from the Bay Area. The accelerator invested in 414 startups for this batch, selected from a pool of 17,000 applications.
This was Y Combinator's largest batch as well as the first to receive $500,000 investments.
Startups from the Bay Area featured on Wednesday are working on products including in-home Covid-19 tests, a subscription texting platform for creators, a new type of sunscreen, social investing platforms, online education and electric vehicles to collect metals from the seabed.
