Does anyone have a link to a full list of companies funded? apart from the one on the FAQ page which is incomplete. There is one on google spreadsheets here but the author says this is out of date. - SimonLyall ( talk) 10:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
The idea of a list of YC-funded companies has been discussed here, and the conclusion seems to be that many of the companies are not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia, and that an exhaustive list of them does not belong on Wikipedia. What I think we should have is a list of Y Combinator companies that are sufficiently notable to have their own Wikipedia articles. I thought it would exist already, but I could not find one. An up-to-date list of every YC-funded company with an article in Wikipedia would help people to understand the influence of Y Combinator, and it could also be useful for finding articles for YC companies that might not be sufficiently notable for inclusion. I'll start the list here, so that it can be added to and discussed before being placed in the article: Scribd, reddit, Airbnb, Dropbox, Disqus, Posterous, Flutter_(company), Weebly, Xobni, Zencoder, Loopt, Cue (search engine), Scoopler, Quartzy, Omgpop, 1000Memories, Pair (app), Listia, Lanyrd, Ark (search engine), Pebble_(watch), AppJet, Etherpad, Biographicon, Heyzap, ZumoDrive, DailyBooth, Directed Edge (company), Cloudkick, WakeMate, Bump (application), BackType, WePay, Convore, Songkick, Earbits, SwipeGood, Hipmunk, Upverter, Gantto, ICracked, AppHarbor -- Joel7687 ( talk) 21:18, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
At this point, I think Y Combinator has become notable enough to justify a page of all YC-funded companies. It's being done by another site right now, and given Wikipedia's mission of supplying the most comprehensive set of information, it would fit.
