You forgot Tipjoy (W08) and Snapjoy (S11). Another thing YC companies love is using "hello@" for their contact email address.

- zaidf 13y agoAlso Tapjoy too, not YC but a YC alum :)
- ivankirigin 13y agoTipjoy cofounder here. "joy" is a three letter word that is incredibly positive. To come up with the name, I wrote down every word that was about money and payment, and every one about happiness, and tipjoy was the shortest combo. I bought it for $8. The reason you see so many now is that these characteristics haven't changed.
- tgoldberg 13y agoAgreed about it being positive. Event organizing can be tough and we want to make it easy. I think "joy" helps emphasize this.
- jareau 13y agoDon't forget about the "zen" of YC: Zencoder, Zenefits, ZenPayroll, Zenbox, & Zenedy.
