Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe record claims 'Investment: Y Combinator -> Rootly' with 'round: YC' and 'role: lead'. The source confirms Rootly is a Y Combinator company from Summer 2021 batch. However, 'YC' is not a traditional funding round with a 'lead' investor role — it is an accelerator program. The source does not describe Y Combinator as a 'lead' investor in a financing round; rather, it shows Rootly as a YC portfolio company. The 'round: YC' designation is confirmed (Rootly is YC S21), but the 'role: lead' is not explicitly addressed in the source as a formal investment role. This is a partial confirmation because the core fact (Y Combinator -> Rootly, Summer 2021) is confirmed, but the framing as a traditional investment round with a 'lead' role is not standard terminology for accelerator participation.
