This question was on HN, 319 days ago[1] where I mentioned that I didn't think PG would answer the question because of his answer on Askolo[1] and because they consider applications to be confidential which, is very similar to the answer he has replied (above)[2]. I'm pretty sure my answer from 319 days ago[3] is still similar to a 'current' list as it's too early to tell from other batches etc how successful the 'rejected' startups are. Anyway here are some of the startups that are known to have been rejected and have gone onto raise funding etc: - SendGrid - http://www.sendgrid.com/ http://www.sendgrid.com/ (went through TechStars and have raised a series B) - CouchOne - http://www.couchbase.com/ http://www.couchbase.com/ - AfterTheDeadline - Acquired By Automattic - Light Sail Energy - http://www.lightsailenergy.com/ http://www.lightsailenergy.com/ - Raised money from Khosla Ventures - SignPost - https://www.signpost.com/ https://www.signpost.com/ - Raised $1M off Google Ventures - MyFit - http://www.myfit.com/ http://www.myfit.com/ - Raised $1M - Storenvy - http://www.storenvy.com http://www.storenvy.com - although they were kicked out of YC[4] but have recently raised $5M[5] - Mark Zuckerberg's Sister Was Also Rejected By YC[6] (although just because your brother is Mark Zuckerberg, it doesn't make you Mark Zuckerberg. I highlighted it because, it was covered by the Tech Press) Hope it helps.
