They went through YCombinator for Auctomatic, but not to for this company it appears. I wonder what what led them to that decision.

- jharrison 16y agoA 5 million dollar exit and previous YCombinator experience (and the network that comes with that) would by my guess.
- staunch 16y agoSteve Huffman did Reddit through YC and then Hipmunk again. I'm sure you would get an even better deal on the second round, so not sure what the downside is. The upside is still big.
- pg 16y agoStripe is also funded by YC.
- marcamillion 16y agoThank God that YC backed a company taking on Paypal for consumer 2 business and business 2 business. About time a YC quality company gets in that space.
- pc 16y agoFor Stripe, YC was actually the first firm we took investment from. Doing so was a very easy decision.
- staunch 16y agoWell there ya go.
