What is YC-Bench?
What YC-Bench measures and how its scores work.
YC-Bench is a finance benchmark for evaluating agents on long-horizon, open-ended business and investment decision-making.
It reports final assets, defined as the fund value in US dollars accumulated by the agent over the course of the simulation; the metric is Score, measured in points.
Scores are shown in points. This benchmark is not independently verified and has an evidence level of B.
