Y Combinator

My friend Trevor Blackwell is a partner in Silicon Valley tech incubator Y Combinator.  Trevor and his partners have done an awesome job in identifying, nurturing and accelerating software ventures.  They have also had an amazing run of great PR for their ventures and themselves.

At the Web 2.0 Summit this week, Y Combinator ventures were everywhere, and they definitely had their 15 minutes in the limelight.  One of the most relevant themes at the summit was how to effeciently fund startups in the downturn.  From CIO Magazine, we pass along the profiles of 7 members of the Y Combinator portfolio to keep your eyes on.
