(We’re also including a few older startups, in case you’re open to larger 25-100 person companies!)</p><p>At the expo, founders will give rapid-fire pitches about themselves and their companies. After those, we’ll open up an event hall for you to meet them virtually. It’s a great way to survey top YC startups all at once, instead of having to seek them out individually on your own.</p><p>Among the 40+ startups attending this year’s event are:</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/simplehash\">SimpleHash (W22)</a>: Organizing NFTs and digital assets by allowing web3 developers to query all NFT data from a single API</li><li><a href=\"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kable\">Kable (W22)</a>: Helping API companies bring their products to market faster through usage-based billing and analytics</li><li><a href=\"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kalshi\">Kalshi (W19)</a>: The first federally regulated exchange where you can trade on the outcomes of events</li><li><a href=\"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/sieve\">Sieve (W22)</a>: AI infrastructure for video, enabling software developers to easily process and understand visual data</li><li><a href=\"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/agave\">Agave (W22)</a>: Plaid for construction, building an API to help construction companies share data between systems and parties</li></ul><p>If you’re considering a job change – or are just curious about what’s out there – we welcome you to apply to join us for an informative and efficient evening of networking with founders.
