YC World
YC World is a counterparty and corporate network risk investigation platform built by Ukrainian open-data developer YouControl. It consolidates official company records, ownership networks, sanctions lists, politically exposed persons and other risk signals across 80+ jurisdictions into a single searchable, graph-based workspace, helping compliance teams, investigators and law enforcement run AML, KYC and KYB checks and expose hidden ownership and sanctioned connections.
Arva AI
Arva AI builds enterprise-grade AI agents that do the manual grunt work of financial crime compliance - screening, KYB/KYC onboarding, and transaction monitoring - for regulated banks and fintechs. Its agents autonomously resolve the majority of alerts and reviews (roughly 91% of screening alerts, 87% of KYB/KYC assessments, and 86% of transaction-monitoring alerts), cutting onboarding times from days to seconds and compliance operations spend by up to 80%. Founded in 2024 by Rhim Shah and Oli Wales and part of Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch, the New York-based company raised a $3M seed round led by Google's Gradient Ventures in January 2025.
