In the post it says "It's the sort of startup we like at Y Combinator: technologically disruptive with a good chance of cashing in."

I can't think of many technologically disruptive YC start-ups off the top of my head to be honest.

They're all disruptive and all use technology, but few seem to be inventing technology.

However, I've been told that there are several technology-based ones, but they haven't launched yet because they're working on the technology. We tend to hear about the other ones.

Which web software startups would you label as technologically disruptive (outside of YC)?

Some are probably still incubating.
