Ask HN: Where are the startups?

Seems to me this is relatively simple to implement. PG probably has a list somewhere. Send it to Google Spreadsheets and share the wealth. Thanks.

i see those rolling out on techcrunch... also on their blog http://ycombinator.posterous.com/

they are all about, what we are about... ;)

There's a spreadsheet up on Google docs containing a large list of companies that got seeded, including a tab with YC companies.

You can find it here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkkhSN3...

Many of the in-incubation YC startups tend to exhibit a bit of secrecy around what they're doing in my experience. I was at the TC party two weeks ago and met a few current YC class founders who weren't willing to share even their name just a vague "we're solving a problem in X industry". I'm not sure if secrecy until launched is a directive/suggestion from YC or if it's something each YC company decides on their own.
