Does anybody know if YC has ever published how many military veteran founders they’ve funded?

Their Request for Startups has a defense tech section, but feels like this is relevant pre-data to look at.

Yea not a shot just wondering

Would bet it’s mostly ex-IDF in the vet cohort too

I bet they would publish it if enough folks asked, they typically don’t hoard data. 

I suspect not many, I can’t recall any that I’ve met.

Really good question, but I imagine the answer is (depressingly) few.

The focus on tough tech / Defense Tech could help drive a change though!

Likely too busy to make it out to Cali but probably not wrong 😂

I doubt they’ve published it, and couldn’t find it when I got curious, but I’d guess they have it. Unironically, best bet would be pulling founders from the Ukrainian front lines.

would be great to see that… thank you for your service! 🫡
