So I pulled every YC company description from their public directory, embedded them using an open-source model, and visualized them in 3D using UMAP + Three.js. Each point = a company. Distance = how similar their missions sound.
The result is a “startup galaxy,” where clusters of AI, dev tools, fintech, and biotech emerge naturally.
It’s just a fun side project (not affiliated with YC), but I’d love feedback from the community
