The F26 batch pitches YC's investor network on Wednesday, December 2: the date is straight from YC's own 2026 Demo Day announcement, so seed funds have had it blocked out for a year. Now that YC runs four batches a year this is the last one before the holidays, and the one where late-year seed rounds get priced. You cannot buy a ticket; it is listed here because it moves the Bay Area's fundraising calendar around it.
