The 15 Most Successful Y Combinator Companies

[Alex3917]

I flagged this. This is just nonsense linkbait that's probably cut-and-pasted from cruchbase. Just because it mentions YC doesn't mean you have to vote it up.

Agree. I love YC, and I love our colleagues at other YC-funded companies (both the companies listed and the companies not listed), but I think this is one of the most poorly reasoned, poorly researched blog posts about YC yet.

Please know what you're talking about before you blog about YC.

I'm glad YC companies are getting press, but this list isn't even close. Any article that doesn't have Wufoo in it is dead wrong.

[nostrademons]

I was really surprised by some of the picks too. I'd never even heard of AddHer.com. Snipd just launched; it's kinda cool, but the jury's still out on it. Many other ones, I've seen lots of press coverage for but never actually met anyone who uses them (Loopt? Xobni?).

Where is RescueTime? SnapTalent? JamGlue? TheSixtyOne? All these are arguably more popular than the companies on the list.

It also doesn't include some of the early acquisitions like Zenter, Parakey, and Auctomactic, yet Omnisio is #1 for their $15M exit.

Zenter? Auctomatic? How can you miss two companies with exits and put one that just launched ahead of them?

Even though a lot of these would be in my list too, the orders are all wrong.

And what about Auctomatic? Surely their $5M exit to Live Current counts more than some angel dollars and early signs of traction.

Any list like this is obviously subjective. Not sure if I agree with all of the selections, but at the same time I want to stress that every company on here is kicking ass in a big way. Any YC startup that's launched and still running is probably worthy of being mentioned.

No WuFoo, no RescueTime, no Slinkset ... no good

[subbu]

Where is Wufoo????? I'd put them somewhere on the top of the list.

[gabrielleydon]

WTF does addher (addmired or whatever) do?

Number 12? seriously?

[russ]

there are lots of inaccuracies in there...

[mastaace]

Maybe you should read the article before dismissing it as spam.

[zandorg]

I thought this was concise and well written, and informative.

Take this spam somewhere else, please.
