I'm continually surprised that there's no YC company that's yet had an IPO.

Dropbox seems to have an IPO on the horizon. They'll probably be the first. They and AirBnB have always been touted as the darlings of YC, so no surprise there.

This one doesn't say if the companies are open or dead

There's a bunch of inaccuracies in the data. For my batch (w2010):

- ChromaOm - became Creative Market, acquired by AutoDesk

- Cue - acquired my Apple

- Browsarity - became Cue

- Embedly - acquired by Medium

- Homejoy - not W10

http://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ - is the official one, which seems more accurate.

Also, while RethinkDB lives on, the company behind it is dead.

Some of the companies should be dead plainly because what they are targeting is no longer in vogue.

Case in point: tsumobi for j2me applications. Hard to believe j2me companies are still alive.

Being in vogue has little to do with being successful in business.

If being in vogue determined much, Oracle wouldn't be doing $37 billion in sales. Windows wouldn't have existed past XP. And Python would have disappeared years ago when its popularity was particularly low, long before its most recent revival.

What's in vogue about Priceline.com? Further, what's in vogue about what they do?

Google search is in vogue? No, it's boring and very much out of vogue. It's about as exciting as the plumbing in your house or the water company. It's merely a hundred billion dollar business though.

Online auctions - a stagnant ~20 year old business - aren't in vogue? Don't tell eBay's $2 billion per year profit business.

And so on. The majority of all tech and the majority of all businesses in existence, would not be considered fashionable in any regard.

S16 companies seem to be missing.
