This seems like false conjecture.

That is to say the only Twitter Analytics company I know of YC funding in the last few years is Crowdbooster, which hasn't sold to Twitter.

Why make a comment like this? It adds nothing to the discussion and makes readers waste time on useless research. Normally I read comments like this, quickly google, and continue on with my life, but it's become an annoying trend.

EDIT: Could I inquire as to the downvotes? If you're about to downvote please consider letting me know whether it's because:

a.)I made an initial error(in stating that YC aquired companies instead of funding them).

b.)I was unnecessarily overly critical of the initial parent comment.

c.)I Came across as braggadocios and didn't add much(if anything) to the conversation at hand.

d.)Something else entirely.

e.)A combination of any/all of the above.



Apologies for not explaining. I think you read too much into my question.

I remembered a YC company that was acquired by Twitter a few years ago that provided this service. When the OP shared the link, I thought "this is not new, or is it?" Sure enough, it was BackType.


YC doesn't acquire companies.


I edited this to funded within under a minute of posting and must have forgotten to submit.

Care to comment on anything other than that egregious error?

edit: I made this error because the initial parent comment to which I had responded had the word 'aquired' in it. I must have subconsciously confused the two, if you're implying that I don't understand how YC functions after years of reading the content here(entirely possible, albiet unlikely), that's simply not true.

I'm a human and entirely fallible, this was an error; sorry gals/guys.
