Y Combinator runs four batches a year (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall). Its standard deal is $500,000 plus an approximately three month in person program in San Francisco, with acceptance around 1 to 2%. The most recent on time deadline was Fall 2026 on July 27, 2026. YC has not yet officially published the Winter 2027 deadline. Based on its usual approximately two month lead time, it is projected for around November 2026.
If you're considering an accelerator, YC's standard terms are public and consistent, so you can prepare early. Don't rely on second-hand deadline dates, confirm the next batch's application window on ycombinator.com/apply before you plan around it.
