YCPages - List of Y Combinator companies, founders and jobs with statistics
- quickpost 16y agoBeautiful and intuitive design. :) Do you plan to let people edit the content at all?
- jasonlynes 16y agoyeah making this a wiki would be kickass
- jasonlynes 16y agojust noticed, it IS a wiki of sorts. you can add founders and investments. nice work.
- Sam_Odio 16y agoGreat page though I noticed a number of errors after glancing through. How do you expect to ensure the accuracy of the data?
- aristus 16y agoIf you spell out the errors you saw, perhaps...
- bradly 16y agoCrocodoc is listed as having $0 in funding, but they took in money last July. I'm not sure the dollar amount.
- SwellJoe 16y agoErrors I noticed from the batch we did (W2007): SocialMoth is no longer active. Paul is involved with Square (which is doing very well). View 3 was shuttered soon after the batch and everybody went back to school, I believe. White Noise is defunct. I'm not sure what Sean is up to these days. Snipshot was a non-batch YC company, I believe (like Justin.TV). Funded by YC based on an existing relationship from a previous batch, but they weren't part of a batch. Not sure that makes it inaccurate...I guess that's the best place to list them, since they were funded around the same time and demoed on the same demo day. WriteWith is defunct. Eric wrote for VentureBeat for a while. Phillip joined Auctomatic before their acquisition. Martin did something else, but I don't remember what. I believe everything else in W2007 is correct.
- throwaway55055 16y agoYC founder ghost says yes.
- CloudOps42 16y agoThere's a real problem with the sex distribution numbers. Not saying it's a YC problem, but it is a problem. There're too many talented women out there to lose them to other industries. When we can pull them over here, watch out!
- Rariel 16y agoIt is a very serious problem, but one that is difficult to solve. Especially when science and tech are male dominated fields. I think it begins with empowering the younger generation of women (think school aged K-6) and getting them interested in math, science and tech.
- SwellJoe 16y agoJessica and pg have both spoken/written at length on the subject. They want to fund female-founded companies, but nearly none apply. I've personally experienced this. I've tried to talk lots of people into applying for YC, or just starting their own company, over the years since we took part in 2007. About 50% of the people I've tried to convince were women. Only men applied or went on to start businesses. Not a single woman among my friends (among them one who works at Google, and another who started a non-profit foundation when she was 19 that still exists ten years later; these are not random people who don't get shit done; they're YC kinda people) takes my advice to start a company seriously. The problem is, I'm pretty sure, both genetic and systemic. There's only so much we can do to fix it. At some point, women have to decide they are willing to take economic risks, and bet on themselves.
- birken 16y agoI know of one incredibly talented potential female founder who applied with a killer idea and was rejected. I think it is very likely that YC has a strong bias towards men, which this data certainly supports. I'm also not blaming YC for having a bias towards men. I think silicon valley in general has a bias towards men, and since YC is a for profit business they are making economically sound decisions. However, I think the situation sucks in general, and saying any fault lies with women is really unfair.
- dreamux 16y agoOther data points that might be interesting if you could track them down: 1. How long it took companies to exit. 2. Financing raised (also against age of the company, so average individual rounds raised and average time between rounds). 3. Running expenses (perhaps broken down: legal, hardware, people, marketing/ads, etc.) 4. Revenue. 5. Userbase growth. Asking a lot, but would be great information to have. :)
- mcdowall 16y agoWith all the contact information available if you really want to know something like this then why not fire off a mail. My perception is that the guys that get funded are usually just decent guys in the most part, sure they wouldn't mind if the information isn't too obtrusive.
- dreamux 16y agoGood call, I'll try this near the end of the month and post the results if I can get a big enough data set.
- jfeldstein2 16y agoBeen looking for something like this. Any way to browse by niche/tag/business model?
- oniTony 16y agoI would be interested in sorting by company's location. A list of YC companies outside of San Francisco would also be acceptable.
- techcofounder 16y agogreat site. all of the companies have $0.00 listed for their funding, which is incorrect of course. could probably pull some data from crunchbase api. would also be interesting to see which angels/vc's funded them and if there were certain investors that heavied up on YC companies
- snowmaker 16y agoGreat resource! Is there a way that YC founders / employees can contact you with updates or corrections?
- niccolop 16y agoI agree! This is great - should we email you with any updates?
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoYes please. Anything to help this site useful or anything I can do to make it better.
- JesseAldridge 16y agoStrange that 5 founders are so much more common than 4 founders. Guess they want that tie-breaking vote?
- arnorhs 16y agoI think that's the "unknown" piece you're looking at. 4 founders are much more common than 5.
- JesseAldridge 16y agoAh, yes. Probably not the best color choice there.
- citizenkeys 16y agoAesthetic on my site isn't as good, but I have extra useful links: http://ycuniverse.com/ http://ycuniverse.com/
- anateus 16y agoI'm listed as a founder, and there's a link to my LinkedIn profile, but when I login with that LinkedIn auth, I can't edit details about my company. I should be able to :)
- mhartl 16y agoI have the same problem.
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoWhen you sign-in with Linked-in and go to your profile page you should see a "Edit" link to update your details. Please let me know if this is not working.
- javadi82 16y agoGreat Work. Like the design and the intuitive design a lot. One small grammatical error: On the companies page, you have "Founder this company". Perhaps, you could change it to "Founder"/"Founder of this company". Example link: http://ycpages.info/companies/143-answerly http://ycpages.info/companies/143-answerly
- emmett 16y agoI would like to be able to edit my profile, as a YC founder. Also I would like to be able to edit my company's info.
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoAdded to my TODO list and moved to top of the list.
- inmygarage 16y agoI can't find the contact email on the site - where should we submit suggestions, feedback, etc?
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoHi, It is on the credits page. Here is it anyway, ycpages at gmail dot com. Many thanks, any feedback would be highly appreciated.
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoCompany founders can edit their profile now if they are signed in with Linked-in. Editing company details coming soon.
- rdamico 16y agoI just tried editing our investment details for Crocodoc, and I get a "We are working on this feature and will be available soon" message.
- gregorym 16y agoI would like to have a rss feed for your jobs page
- bdon 16y agoThere's a lot of little icons already, but how about a link to each founder's HN handle?
- dstorrs 16y agoThis is fantastic. Thanks for spending the time and effort to produce it.
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoMany thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated. I have lots planned for YCPages. The first step was get it out there and get the feedback. I am working on adding the funding details at the moment. I have also posted a question on Quora. any help on that would be great. http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-technologies-used-by-YCombinator-funded-companies http://www.quora.com/What-are-the-technologies-used-by-YComb...
- lancewiggs 16y agoAwesome - any chance of removing the pagination or increasing the size of paged when looking at, say, the class lists or people?
- bond 16y agoMaybe it would be good to have some filters for active, acquired, etc...
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoThis is added now.
- frisco 16y agoWhat is this implemented in?
- rajeshrajappan 16y agoSee http://ycpages.info/credits http://ycpages.info/credits Let me know if you require further information.
- danecjensen 16y agothe design is great. i checked out your credits page and you listed blueprint. you must have used something else as well to help design the website. please explain.
- yosho 16y agoWhy just track YC? Why not open it up to all the tech incubators or the entire startup scene and have something really useful and a competitor to crunchbase.
- ericmsimons 16y agoWait, I thought there were like 40 companies in the w11 batch?
