Y Combinator Company List
- ankurpatel 12y agoA lot of old companies are Dead or Exited. Someone should do statistics on this data.
- minimaxir 12y agoData is not fully accurate, especially in the many cases where a YC company had pivoted and changed their name. Also, there's a third startup possible startup state that's relevant but impossible to measure: Zombie, where the startup is alive but will basically never exit.
- dkyc 12y agoWhat about "successful private company"?
- arikrak 12y agoDoesn't help the investors though, unless they pay a dividend.
- bhayden 12y agoWhat stops YC companies from doing this? You get your 150k from YC, you're making a few million a year in profit, and instead of killing yourself trying to make billions, you say "good enough" and hand the reigns over and let the company keep doing its thing conservatively. Pretty sure that's what I would do.
- md2be 12y agogreat work! Would be nice to see funding along side.
- fivedogit 12y agoFound a mistake near the bottom: Justin.tv is either dead or acquired, however you want to interpret the change into Twitch.
- brycethornton 12y agoNice list. Wakemate (S09) is definitely dead.
- johnward 12y agoCool but probably needs to be updated. I do know that cloudant was acquired by IBM.
- arikrak 12y agoTechstars published an official list of their companies status: http://www.techstars.com/companies/all/ http://www.techstars.com/companies/all/
- iball 12y agoMissing Genius.com
- bkyan 12y agoI wonder if it makes sense to recycle some of the dead company concepts. Seems to me that some of them were simply "too early" ...
- katm 12y agoThis is not an official list made by YC. Many companies are missing, and I've seen a couple that were not YC.
