13 points by mr_twj 16y ago

Could anyone provide a current list of HN spin-offs and YC funded startups? Or just add yourself if applicable, I would really appreciate it, thank you.

Don't know how current this is, nor how accurate but I've seen it posted around here a few times. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l1Vnl5NmZjaTBNQWlJYVozMEE&hl=en#gid=0 https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3vaY4jdF90b1l...

  Yes, that's the list for the Y Combinator startups. Does anyone have a similar thing for those coming from or first posted on hackernews? I guess this would be all those weekend projects and "Please Rate My App" posts.

This question comes up often, the answer should probably be in the FAQ. Here are some links with lists of YC funded companies: * An old version of the Wikipedia entry contained a list of YC funded companies. It was removed. It should probably be setup as a separate article (that would require finding some HNers who have some of the elusive wikipedia-power): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Y_Combinator&oldid=326326414 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Y_Combinator&o... * CrunchBase lists some of the investments on the YC page. It would be a good idea for those who have been funded to add themselves to this list and to fill their profiles in: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/y-combinator http://www.crunchbase.com/company/y-combinator * There used to be a list on the about page, which you can see if you go to the Wayback Machine on archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ycombinator.com/faq.html http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ycombinator.com/faq.html for eg. http://web.archive.org/web/20070116090613/http://www.ycombinator.com/faq.html http://web.archive.org/web/20070116090613/http://www.ycombin... http://web.archive.org/web/20080415144853/http://ycombinator.com/about.html http://web.archive.org/web/20080415144853/http://ycombinator... * This blog post contains a list plus stats, up to '09.

  It would be interesting to know what programming language(s) each of these were written in.
