Ask HN: Current list of HN startups and spin-offs?
Could anyone provide a current list of HN spin-offs and YC funded startups? Or just add yourself if applicable, I would really appreciate it, thank you.

This question comes up often, the answer should probably be in the FAQ. Here are some links with lists of YC funded companies:
* An old version of the Wikipedia entry contained a list of YC funded companies. It was removed. It should probably be setup as a separate article (that would require finding some HNers who have some of the elusive wikipedia-power):
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Y_Combinator&o...
* CrunchBase lists some of the investments on the YC page. It would be a good idea for those who have been funded to add themselves to this list and to fill their profiles in:
http://www.crunchbase.com/company/y-combinator
* There used to be a list on the about page, which you can see if you go to the Wayback Machine on archive.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ycombinator.com/faq.html
for eg.

* This blog post contains a list plus stats, up to '09. He used the archive.org pages to extract a list of companies from each class:

* This spreadsheet seems to be the most exhaustive list, and it also contains Techstars, fbFund etc.

Don't know how current this is, nor how accurate but I've seen it posted around here a few times.

Yes, that's the list for the Y Combinator startups. Does anyone have a similar thing for those coming from or first posted on hackernews? I guess this would be all those weekend projects and "Please Rate My App" posts.

It would be interesting to know what programming language(s) each of these were written in.
Thanks, all comments were helpful.
