Describe your problem in plain English. ychasit searches 4,000+ active YC companies and finds the startups that solve it, with reasoning, pricing, and integrations. 100% Free forever. No login. No signup.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Raghav 👋
There are 4,000+ active YC companies. Most of them are invisible to the people who need them most. The one that solves your exact problem is probably in there somewhere, and today the only way to find it is scrolling a directory sorted by batch.
ychasit finds it for you:
• Describe your problem in plain English ("my sales team wastes hours copying data between tools")
• It searches all 4,000+ companies and returns the 1-3 that actually fit
• Each one comes with reasoning, pricing, and integrations
• Completely free. No login, no signup, no limits.
Throw anything at it. Blunt queries, competitor searches, vague rants about your workflow. If you get a bad result, paste the query below and I'll trace it.
I built this because I think it's a genuinely useful addition to the YC ecosystem. It sends people straight to the companies solving their problem, which is good for the founders and good for whoever's searching.
Also live on X today: https://x.com/myname_raghav/status/2080614632444579852?s=20. If this ends up in front of Garry Tan, that would honestly make my year. Any support from this community means a lot.
@raghav2 I'm curious how you handle startups that have pivoted a few times?
@raghav2 Fun angle on the 'is my idea taken' anxiety. From the operator side, knowing a YC company solves my problem is step one; the real question is buy it or build around it. Does it surface how mature or funded the match is?
When it shows reasoning alongside each result, is that reasoning generated from the same rewritten description it used to match, or is it a separate pass? Asking because if it's the same pass, the explanation will always sound convincing even when the match is bad, and I won't be able to tell a strong hit from a stretch.
@arya012 Very well pointed out. It does drop anything it's unsure about rather than hedge. Though it still try to make the best match convincing.
Raghav, the premise rests on the user stating the real problem, and that is the part I would stress.
I ran 50 customer interviews for my company. Almost everyone named the same pain out loud, clinical notes, but the budget was sitting somewhere else entirely, insurance reimbursement. If I had typed my stated problem into this, it would have confidently routed me to a notes tool and missed where I would actually spend. The match can be perfect and still point at the wrong category, because the weak link is the self-diagnosis, not the search.
So the question: does it only solve the literal problem I type, or can it surface the adjacent one, the "people who ask for X usually end up needing Y"? A tool that gently widens a misdiagnosed query is worth far more than one that nails a well-phrased one.
if two yc companies solve this differently, like enterprise vs solo founder, does it explain that or just pick one.
@raghav2 Will users be able to filter results by industry or company stage later? That could improve relevance.
I enjoy that ther is no signup because it encourages quick exploration. How do you explain why one startup ranks above another? A transparent scoring summary would increase trust.
