September 2, 2026 is a YC-and-data tape, not another a16z fund headline. AfterQuery is being reported at $3.2 billion (Forbes; amount unknown; company silent). Frontier Computing disclosed a $10 million YC S26 pre-seed led by General Catalyst — Frogger is the demo. Clipto $15 million at $250 million printed August 31 and was missing from that day’s coverage. Last verified September 2, 2026. This index does not duplicate PR #131 (Félix, AIR, Light, SciFin, Empirik, Aslan, Tripo) or the September 1 Growth/Kepler/Cloover pass.
