Hulist, Hackerarchy and JobBook are the official YC companies to merge into Scribd. Tricloud and Nanobeep were great YC applicant companies that joined us, and Buzzshout was a non-YC but very cool company whose founder is now with us.
- ivankirigin 19y ago6 companies for 8 people? wow
- alaskamiller 19y agoI think you people are diluting the meaning of company. When I was 6 I used to draw things and write down Copyright 1991 My Name, Inc. It was only a few more years that I realize, just cause I can write down a company name does not a company make.
- cstejerean 19y agoWell, if they were YC applicants they probably weren't companies as YC seem to prefer groups that are not already incorporated. I guess it's more like people with 6 different product ideas (and names) got together to do Scribd then saying 6 companies merged.
- alaskamiller 19y agoSounded like 8 kids with varying ideas of a project, I can't even fathom what those names mean, now work together at a funded company.
- rkabir 19y agoI really wanted to mod this +1, Funny and remembered this isn't slashdot. But to be fair, I used to do the same.
- plusbryan 19y agoIt doesn't seem honest to say that Hulist+Hackerarchy+JobBook=Scribd. That's like saying 0+0+0=1. ;-)
- derefr 19y agoThe whole is more than the sum of its parts? Or you should be casting to float ;)
- plusbryan 19y agoOf course. You miss my meaning. Scribd = 1 (ie. cool company doing good things), and 0's being unsuccessful attempts. We're allowed unsuccessful attempts. I sure have a couple under my belt. ;-) I understand what point the Scribds' are trying to make, but knowing their history, I just thought I'd call them out on their white lie.
