NoteThe record claims Y Combinator invested in Simplify in the 'YC batch' round with Y Combinator as 'lead'. The source confirms Simplify participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch program. While the source does not explicitly use the term 'lead investor' (Y Combinator's batch program is typically an accelerator investment rather than a traditional lead round), the source clearly establishes Y Combinator as a backer. The 'round: YC batch' field is confirmed by the Winter 2021 batch designation. The 'role: lead' cannot be fully verified from this source as it does not specify Y Combinator's role relative to other investors, but the core investment relationship is confirmed.
