Notability[edit]

Given that I had no idea what a Y-Combinator Startup is, and that the article does not contain any refs, I wonder if it is really notable? CalzGuy (talk) 09:54, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey CalzGuy, in simple terms, Y-Combinator is basically a university for early-stage startups. The program gives startup founders advice, an alumni program, and a demo day at the end where startups show off their working concept to investors and the press. In return for this, Y-Combinator takes 7% equity of the company. As of August 2015, Y Combinator had invested in ~940 companies including Dropbox, Airbnb, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit, Zenefits, Machine Zone, Instacart and Weebly, and the combined market capitalization of YC companies is over $65B.^[1] Daylen (talk) 00:41, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
