What the record says
Y Combinator lists 8 open roles on its directory entry.
Checked away from the directory entry. Neither line below comes from the company's Y Combinator page.
Y Combinator created a new model for funding early stage startups. Four times a year we invest in a large number of startups.
The title and description the site itself served, answering 200. Not a cached copy and not the company's directory entry — what was live when we asked.
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, and 68 such threads were left out on that basis. More may exist than the one page of results read here. Hacker News is not us, and nothing above is our opinion of the company.
Founders, titles and bios as the company published them. Photographs are our own copies of the ones on that record, so they do not break when the original link expires.

Is this you?
If you're behind Y Combinator: 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. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
