Ask HN: Is there a list of dead YC startups?
They can't all be chugging along..can they?
- pg 17y agoA couple months ago someone posted a fairly complete list of every startup we've funded, including his guess at their current status. IIRC it was wrong in some details but not far off as an overall picture.
- ilamont 17y agoIn your view, what are the most common reasons for YC startup failures? I know you've mentioned the importance of having the right team in the past (as well as having a team, as opposed to a single founder). Generally speaking, what else comes into play when a Y Combinator startup fails?
- teuobk 17y agoThis appears to be a reasonably complete list (refer to the YC sheet): http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l1Vnl5NmZjaTBNQWlJYVozMEE&hl=en http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l1... According to that list, 14 are dead. That might be an underestimate, as BusinessWeek's Top Angels in Tech list puts the number of dead YC startups at about 21.
