I think COLOURlovers is the only YC company that I can say I had heard of / often visited before they were part of YC.
Are there any other companies that were reasonably successful before starting in YC?
- replicatorblog 16y agoBrushes was pretty big e.g they demoed on stage at WWDC, were used by the new Horner for cover art, and were a top rated app before YC.
- mlinsey 16y agoJust in the S10 batch: Brushes, Rapportive, Simplenote all were reasonably successful before YC began.
- pclark 16y agoDailybooth, Simperium & PagerDuty were pretty well known before YC.
- jacobbijani 16y agoWhy did any of them take YC money? Seems silly.
