37 YC Funded Companies Valued Over $40m is a post I wrote about a month ago. Six of the 37 companies valued over $40 million dollars were exits. I omitted any guess as to the remaining 31 companies. Since writing that, I’ve noted exits of seven additional companies. I’ve also done some quick research as to the remaining 31 companies valued over $40 million dollars.
The seven additional exits are Meetings.io (YC W11), Rapportive (YC S10), Fanpulse/Fanvibe (YC S10), 1000Memories (YC S10), Cardpool (YC W10), Zencoder (YC W10), and DailyBooth (YC S09). Of those exits, I have approximate exit amounts for three: Zencoder ($30m), Rapportive ($15m), and Meetings.io ($7.6m). That brings my total quantity of known exits by Y Combinator companies to 57. It also brings my total quantity of known exit amounts to 25 of the 57.
None of the additional exits crosses the $40 million dollar threshold, though. So after discounting the six I listed in my original post, there’s still 31 un-acquired YC funded companies with valuations of at least $40 million dollars. Based on CrunchBase, eight companies have raised at least $20 million dollars: Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, Xobni, Clustrix, Optimizely, Scribd, and Hipmunk. Those companies must all be worth at least twice the amount they’ve raised, presuming the founders didn’t sell away a majority stake of their own company. So now we’re left with 23 unknown companies.
CrunchBase indicates the following 23 un-acquired companies have raised the most money:
| Company | Amount Raised $ | Batch |
|---|---|---|
| Bump | 19.9m | YC S09 |
| WePay | 19.2m | YC S09 |
| 42floors | 17.7m | YC W12 |
| Songkick | 16.6m | YC S07 |
| Cloudant | 16.3m | YC S07 |
| Five Stars | 16.1m | YC W11 |
| Thalmic Labs (Myo) | 15.6m | YC W13 |
| RapGenius | 15m | YC S11 |
| Crowdtilt | 14.1m | YC W12 |
| 500Friends | 12.9m | YC W10 |
| PagerDuty | 12.6m | YC S10 |
| Codecademy | 12.5m | YC S11 |
| Mixpanel | 12m | YC S09 |
| Meteor | 11.2m | YC S11 |
| CarWoo | 10.8m | YC S09 |
| Dotcloud | 10.8m | YC S10 |
| Airware | 10.7m | YC W13 |
| Disqus | 10.5m | YC S07 |
| chute | 9.7m | YC W12 |
| FundersClub | 8.1m | YC S12 |
| Heyzap | 8m | YC W09 |
| Vidyard | 7.7m | YC S11 |
| MatterPort | 7.2m | YC W12 |
So now we have 37 companies: six exits, eight companies that have raised at least $20 million dollars, and the next 23 companies that have raised the most money.
