I don't believe that YC funded RudderStack, but they funded Segment indeed! It's not uncommon. If I have to guess, every batch or so have at least 2 companies directly competing with each over

Yes, RudderStack is not YC funded. Though I have learnt a lot from YC (and PG) through the years and attribute our entrepreneurship to them.

Founder of RudderStack here.

Ah sorry, I mixed you up with Freshpaint, which is actually a YC startup and Segment competitor that pivoted to their current business model.

hey! Co-founder of Freshpaint here. Yes, we're YC-backed along with Segment, so you're probably thinking of us. YC does often fund startups working on similar things.
