Wow, there really hasn't been any press around these 9 funded companies. Or at least, I haven't heard of them.
I'm amazed by how much more attention YC startups get. Even if the CRV companies are in stealth mode, I still would've expected to hear more about them in the blogs / press.
- mattculbreth 19y agoI found that strange also. Hadn't heard of any of these companies. Obviously that doesn't mean they don't exist, but it's still strange to me.
- ecuzzillo 19y agoMaybe you read more general startup-covering press than I do, but for my own part, I read NYT, programming.reddit, and news.yc. There's a lot of sampling bias there towards YC companies, because the NYT doesn't do that much startup at all, while the other two go crazy on YC. So I wouldn't be surprised that I and maybe you have heard of all the YC companies but none of the CRV ones. As to the usefulness of the fund, it seems like a perfectly good second round of funding if you start at YC, or a first round if you don't get into YC. (maybe you can pay for PR with the extra bucks)
