NoteThe record claims Y Combinator was the lead investor in a 'YC W23' round. However, the source clearly identifies Goodwater Capital as the lead investor in the Series A financing round being discussed. Y Combinator's involvement was in March 2020 as part of the initial launch/seed stage, and later appears as one of several non-lead investors in prior funding rounds. The 'YC W23' designation (Y Combinator Winter 2023 batch) is not mentioned in the source. The source contradicts the claim that Y Combinator was the lead investor in this particular round.
