Harshita Arora Joins YC as General Partner

We're thrilled to announce that Harshita Arora is joining Y Combinator as a General Partner.

Harshita has been a Visiting Partner at YC since the Summer 2025 batch, making her the youngest visiting partner in YC's history.

Harshita discovered coding at 13, dropped out of school at 15 to pursue it full-time, and by 16 had built Crypto Price Tracker, a crypto portfolio management app that was featured by Apple, which was subsequently acquired, and earned her India's Bal Shakti Puraskar, one of the country's highest honors for young achievers. She then received an O-1 visa, moved to San Francisco, and co-founded AtoB (YC S20).

Harshita and her co-founder came into YC with an idea that got killed by Covid, and with zero background in trucking or payments, they spent weeks visiting truck stops until they found the idea that would become AtoB. Today, AtoB is a Series-C stage company building financial infrastructure for the trucking industry. Often described as "Stripe for Trucking," it offers fleet cards, instant payouts, and modern financial tools, serving over 30,000 fleets across the US.

As a General Partner, Harshita will work directly with YC founders at every stage of their companies. She brings deep fintech and infrastructure experience, a founder's instinct for product, and the perspective of someone who's been building companies since she was a teenager.

We're super excited to have her on the team. Welcome, Harshita!
