Ask YC: Ever consider contacting start-ups to invest?

4 points by christonog 16y ago ↗ HN

I've noticed recently there are a number of start-ups asking HN for feedback, which is great. This got me wondering: Does YC ever contact start-ups (either through HN after the start-up asks for feedback or just stumbling upon a gem). If so, how many and are they still afloat?

I know I've occasionally suggested to people in comments that we'd be happy if they applied to YC, but I don't remember which ones.
