This page is a written post asking whether Y Combinator companies have an advantage in sales. The author hypothesizes that YC companies often sell to other YC companies, including companies in their own batch and older alumni.

The post cites an anecdote in which a YC founder reportedly secured a pilot after a director of engineering at a large company, who was a YC alum, responded favorably. The author also theorizes that customer logos on YC startups' landing pages will mostly be other YC companies. No data or product details are presented.
