This project aims to showcase the incredible work being done by YC-backed companies in the open-source community. Whether you're a developer, entrepreneur, or just curious about open-source innovation, this repository is a great resource to explore.
Y Combinator (YC) is one of the most prestigious startup accelerators in the world, known for backing companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe. Over the years, YC has also supported a growing number of open-source startups that are building innovative tools, platforms, and frameworks.
