Strange that 5 founders are so much more common than 4 founders. Guess they want that tie-breaking vote?

#13Great page though I noticed a number of errors after glancing through. How do you expect to ensure the accuracy of the data?
If you spell out the errors you saw, perhaps...
Errors I noticed from the batch we did (W2007):
SocialMoth is no longer active. Paul is involved with Square (which is doing very well).
View 3 was shuttered soon after the batch and everybody went back to school, I believe.
White Noise is defunct. I'm not sure what Sean is up to these days.
Snipshot was a non-batch YC company, I believe (like Justin.TV). Funded by YC based on an existing relationship from a previous batch, but they weren't part of a batch. Not sure that makes it inaccurate...I guess that's the best place to list them, since they were funded around the same time and demoed on the same demo day.
WriteWith is defunct. Eric wrote for VentureBeat for a while. Phillip joined Auctomatic before their acquisition. Martin did something else, but I don't remember what.
I believe everything else in W2007 is correct.

#14Great resource! Is there a way that YC founders / employees can contact you with updates or corrections?
I agree! This is great - should we email you with any updates?

#15great site. all of the companies have $0.00 listed for their funding, which is incorrect of course. could probably pull some data from crunchbase api. would also be interesting to see which angels/vc's funded them and if there were certain investors that heavied up on YC companies

#16There's a real problem with the sex distribution numbers. Not saying it's a YC problem, but it is a problem. There're too many talented women out there to lose them to other industries. When we can pull them over here, watch out!
Jessica and pg have both spoken/written at length on the subject. They want to fund female-founded companies, but nearly none apply.
I've personally experienced this. I've tried to talk lots of people into applying for YC, or just starting their own company, over the years since we took part in 2007. About 50% of the people I've tried to convince were women. Only men applied or went on to start businesses. Not a single woman among my friends (among them one who works at Google, and another who started a non-profit foundation when she was 19 that still exists ten years later; these are not random people who don't get shit done; they're YC kinda people) takes my advice to start a company seriously.
The problem is, I'm pretty sure, both genetic and systemic. There's only so much we can do to fix it. At some point, women have to decide they are willing to take economic risks, and bet on themselves.

#17Beautiful and intuitive design. :) Do you plan to let people edit the content at all?
yeah making this a wiki would be kickass

Snipshot was W06.
