# Y Combinator / YC Continuity / YC funds — SEC/EDGAR entity map **Prepared for:** Jonathan Drake **As of:** Monday, 24 August 2026 (America/Denver) **Method:** Live retrieval from SEC EDGAR (browse-edgar, EFTS search-index, `data.sec.gov/submissions`, `company_tickers.json`) and IAPD/IARD (Form ADV CRD 171730). **No CIKs or filing counts were invented.** Every number below was read from those official responses. --- ## Why a naive EDGAR search for "Y Combinator" looks empty There is **no public company** named Y Combinator, and the operating adviser **does not file on EDGAR**. 1. **No ticker / not in `company_tickers.json`.** Retrieved `https://www.sec.gov/files/company_tickers.json` on 24 Aug 2026: **10,403** issuers, **zero** titled Y Combinator / YC. The EDGAR ticker box and any "public company" filter therefore return nothing. 2. **The adviser has no CIK.** Legal name **Y Combinator Management, LLC**, primary business name **Y COMBINATOR**, CRD **171730**, SEC file **802-80528**. - IAPD: [https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/171730](https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/171730) - ADV PDF (filed 27 Mar 2026): [https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/171730/PDF/171730.pdf](https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/171730/PDF/171730.pdf) Form ADV Item 1.D.(3) is explicit: **CIK Numbers — No Information Filed**. Form ADV is an **IARD/IAPD** filing, not an EDGAR submission. `802-` means **Exempt Reporting Adviser** (not a fully registered `801-` RIA). ERA since **23 Oct 2014** (California ERA 19 Apr 2018). Item 2.B.(1): venture-capital adviser exemption, Advisers Act **§ 203(l)** / rule 203(l)-1. 3. **Name mismatch.** Most vehicles file under abbreviated names (`YC II, L.P.`, `YC ESP24, L.P.`, `YCC20, L.P.`, `YCCG21, L.P.`, `YCP24, L.P.`, `YC ECO24, L.P.`). Searching **Y Combinator LLC** or **Y Combinator Management** as a company name returns **no EDGAR registrant**. The old company-name search *does* find the five issuers whose legal names contain the words "Y Combinator": [https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=Y+Combinator&owner=exclude&action=getcompany](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=Y+Combinator&owner=exclude&action=getcompany) 4. **Core seed funds never filed Form D.** The 27 Mar 2026 ADV lists **Y COMBINATOR FUND I, LP**, **Y COMBINATOR FUND II, LP**, and **YCVC FUND I, L.P.** with placeholder Form D number `021-9999999999`. Those names have **no EDGAR CIK** in entity autocomplete or company search. 5. **Only Form D / D/A on EDGAR.** All 29 first-party EDGAR filings retrieved are Regulation D notices (Rule 506(b), ICA § 3(c)(1) and/or § 3(c)(7)). **No 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, 13F, or 13G** under these CIKs. Filters for periodic or ownership reports are empty. 6. **Full-text search is the wrong tool.** EFTS `q="Y Combinator"` returns **1,002** document hits — almost all *other* issuers mentioning YC. That is not a registrant list. **What works:** company search / `keysTyped` for `Y Combinator`, `YC II`, `YC ESP`, `YC AFFILIATES`, `YC PRINCIPALS`, `YCC20`, `YCCG21`, `YCP24`, `YC ECO24`; then `https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK##########.json`. For the adviser, use IAPD, not EDGAR. --- ## Adviser (IARD / IAPD — not EDGAR) | Field | Retrieved value | | --- | --- | | Legal name | Y Combinator Management, LLC | | Primary business name | Y COMBINATOR | | CRD | 171730 | | SEC file | 802-80528 (ERA) | | CIK | **None** (ADV Item 1.D.(3) blank) | | Status | ERA – Active (SEC 23 Oct 2014; CA 19 Apr 2018) | | Exemption | § 203(l) venture-capital adviser | | Latest ADV | 27 Mar 2026 annual amendment | | Address | 335 Pioneer Way, Mountain View, CA 94041 | | Private funds on ADV 7.B | 19 | | IAPD | https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/171730 | | ADV PDF | https://reports.adviserinfo.sec.gov/reports/ADV/171730/PDF/171730.pdf | Related-person GPs on ADV Schedule 7.A (none have a CIK listed on the ADV): YC Continuity Management I, LLC; YC GP II, LLC; Y Combinator Fund I GP, LLC; Y Combinator Fund II GP, LLC; YC ESP22 Fund GP, L.P.; YC ESP24 Fund GP, LP; YCP24 Fund GP, LP; YCC20 Fund GP, L.P.; YCCG21 Fund GP, LP; YC ECO24 Fund GP, LP; YCVC Fund GP, LLC; YCVC Management, LLC; YC Batch20, L.P.; YC Batch24 LP; and the corresponding Internal GP LLCs. --- ## First-party EDGAR issuers (18 CIKs, 29 filings) **Inclusion rule:** `data.sec.gov/submissions` business address is **335 Pioneer Way, Mountain View, CA 94041**. **Forms:** D = 19, D/A = 10. **Date range:** 15 Jun 2015 – 27 Apr 2026. **Entity type on submissions API:** `other` (not a reporting public issuer).
