If you'd like to see how many of the startups in the current YC batch have evolved over time, I have created a special collection on the S15 group of companies (using content from the Internet Archive):

The companies I have personally found most surprising have been Wheely's Cafe, Nebia, L., Luna, and Scentbird [1] ... great to see YC supporting such unique kinds of companies.

Nice to see at least some of these are building things which aren't just smartphone apps solving first-world problems.

I would love to try out the Nebia shower, just a shame they didn't name it Nebula ... seems more fitting imo.

I really like the sandwich maker. That seems like one of those quiet billionaire makers.

Also the shower-head looks neat, but not at $300. and why the hell are they even thinking about an electronic version?

The name comes from the Italian word "nebbia" (mist) but I'm curious why you think Nebula fits better. The cloudiness?

New startup idea: self-driving solar-powered bikes which make sandwiches for you and collect payment via smartphone app.

ShapeScale definitely caught my eye!

I feel like that level of data about my body would really help motivate me to eat better and exercise more.
