CarWoo went through Y Combinator in the Summer 2009 batch, describing itself as The best way to buy a new car. Y Combinator's company directory lists it as Inactive. The directory does not say why a company stopped, and this page does not guess.

Its batch
Summer 2009 had 26 companies in YC's listing: 7 Active, 7 Acquired, 0 Public and 12 Inactive, so CarWoo is one of 12 companies from that batch listed as Inactive (46%). Across YC batches at least two years old, 23% of companies are listed Inactive.
Statuses are Y Combinator's own listing in its public company directory, read on the date shown. YC's directory can drop companies altogether, so the Inactive counts here are a floor, not a full count of companies that stopped. Acquired and Public are as YC lists them; neither says anything about the price or the outcome for founders.
The record: CarWoo in the Y Combinator directory. Measured 2026-09-26 from Y Combinator's company directory.
