According to whois this site is by Pavan Kumar, not YC. For those of you who dont know, using pictures (especially with a quote attached, and even more when it has YC in the name) from public figures is NOT LEGAL if it is used to sell/endorse a product without their consent. Unless this is a YC company itself, it gives the false illusion that they support the product/business. In this case it might also mislead people as to who is behind the company itself.
We were searching the internet for companies who attended the YC interviews before, but we could not find any organized list. so we built this over the new year weekend. Would love to get your feedback to improve it and make it more useful.
It would be great, if you can spread the word to YC Interviewees.
I remember the Hacker News I used to love from 2008. Are we really at a place where someone is trying to build another corral / gatekeeper for yet another "exclusive" group? It used to be using the word "exclusive" on HN would get you laughed at. Hacker news was about Hacking Things. Oh how I miss the pre bubble BS.
Man, everyone here is so negative. If someone wants to help out aspiring YC companies, why not support that? If YC wants to ban the post, then let them do so. They don't need self appointed moderators.
These guys are trying to help others. Let the idea rise or fall on it's merit.
