Y Combinator's PAC is throwing money at Republicans across the country

Top figures at Y Combinator, one of the most influential tech incubators in the world, are working to influence the 2026 election cycle with contributions to 66 different federal political action campaigns (PACs), nearly half of which are supporting Republicans.

The Y Combinator Management LLC Political Committee, also called the Little Tech PAC, has spent $117,647 to bolster candidates ranging from progressives like Rep. Lateefah Simon of California and Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, to staunch right-wingers like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, and the late Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

The PAC was registered on Dec. 15, 2025, according to its FEC filing , and has raised $200,000 from 40 contributions, nearly all from YC employees, executives, and their partners.
