Y Combinator News and Media Highlights

Nigerian fintech Grey gets backing from Y Combinator – TechCrunch

Let’s say you’re a freelance engineer in Nigeria working for a U.S. company; how do you facilitate forex conversion from dollars to naira? I bet it involves using a third party or a local Bureau De Change, essentially a foreign currency exchange office. Some people have worked with this model for years not because it’s perfect but other options are limited. A few issues using third parties or a Bureau De Change, or BDC as commonly known in Nigeria, include inflated rates, you can only access them for specific hours, proximity and there are chances you’d get cheated.

Web3 will break the Y Combinator business model, and Blockzero Labs is betting big on it

The “accelerator” model of startup investing has proven to be hugely successful over the years. Adding technical and marketing support to a relatively small amount of funding turned out to be the most efficient way to get a significant return on investment, benefiting both the investors and the startups. Take, for example, Y Combinator. The company is by far the most successful startup investor in the U.S.—the combined valuation of all companies that passed through the Y Combinator accelerator surpassed $400 billion in 2021. The company invested in some of the most successful companies in the past ten years, including Airbnb, Dropbox, DoorDash, Stripe, Coinbase, Reddit, OpenSea, and Twitch. However, Y Combinator’s success comes at a cost, and that cost is time.

MentalHappy launches to make mental health care accessible – TechCrunch

On the heels of World Mental Health Day, an app called MentalHappy is launching with the goal of making mental health care accessible, affordable and stigma-free. “I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum where I can afford the $175 an hour for therapy, and where I couldn’t afford it,” said founder and CEO Tamar Blue. “We all need help navigating the life events that we go through, but how do we do that with an expert, not pay a fortune for it, be accessible, and do that collectively with other people in a positive way?”

Y Combinator-backed CostCertified lands $8.45M to build the ‘Amazon for construction’ – TechCrunch

CostCertified, a Canadian startup which provides real-time, interactive residential construction estimates, raised $8.45 million in a seed round of funding. FUSE, a Pacific Northwest venture firm which counts former Microsoft CFO John Connors and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner as venture partners, led the round.
