What do you mean by YC-funded? Haven't heard that abbreviation before.

    Y Combinator is an American seed accelerator, started in March 2005. Y Combinator provides seed money, advice, and connections at two three-month programs per year. In exchange, they take an average of about 6% of the company's equity.
They helped launch reddit, DropBox, and Airbnb, and this site is based off of the Hacker News source code.

Y-Combinator. It's Paul Graham's (the guy who started HN) VC firm, if I'm not mistaken.
