YC on CNBC

from the self-post dept.

Tony Wright from RescueTime, a Y-combinator funded company, was interviewed today on The Tech Effect on CNBC. Have there been any other Y-combinator companies highlighted on TV (not internet)?

I've noticed loopt in an NYC taxi: http://www.gpsbusinessnews.com/Loopt-launches-media-campaign...

Xobni was mentioned on Fox: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual...

But Bill Gates' talking about it was probably a much bigger PR win: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual...

Reddit gets mentioned a lot also, but I can't find any videos right now.

Those are the only ones I remember off the top of my head.

I think several have, but I can't remember which. I know CO2Stats was on CNN.
