Counted only where a thread links to this company's own site, announces it by name on that forum, or names it beside its own Y Combinator batch. A thread whose title merely carries the words is not counted — a name is not an identifier. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.
Harj Taggar was previously the co-founder & CEO of Triplebyte, a technical skills assessment for software engineers, funded by Y Combinator in 2015. Before that, he joined YC in 2010 as the first non-founding partner. During college he founded Auctomatic, which was funded by YC in 2007 and acquired by Live Current Media in 2008.

No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

If you're behind Auctomatic: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
