Ask HN: Examples of large exits without VC Funding?
Just asking for self-motivational purposes! For example: 1. Plenty Of Fish sold to Match Group in 2012 for $575 Million, by sole founder Markus Frind.

Wonder what will it take for Deepak Chopra to stop his quantum psychobabble. Even this didn't do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZXewVWUKAM

I love your idea. And there's a huge market of individuals living on Excel that will pay you for doing this. Congrats!

Also, not $100M+, but ShipStation sold to Stamps.com for $75 Million in 2014.

Came across this site a few minutes back as an email referral. Supposedly pays you in gold. I've never heard of the company, and don't know whether it's legit.

Should be fine now. I think they were making some changes around the time you saw that aberration.

We're building a tool that discloses shipping prices AND delivery dates up front, as soon as you add a product to the Cart.
Here's a popular site that uses it: http://store.hufworldwide.com/

Re:Ask HN: Does YC Invest “Common Stock” or “Preferred Stock”?

Thanks for the clarification, Carolynn. How much of that $120k total investment goes to purchasing the Common Stock?
Ask HN: Does YC Invest “Common Stock” or “Preferred Stock”?
Just looking for a straight answer from anyone that knows for sure. I had always thought that YC purchased straight Common Stock for their 7% equity.This page [http://www.ycombinator.com/documents/] implies that it's Preferred Stock, whereas this old link [http://old.ycombinator.com/documents/YC_CSPA.docx] downloads a Common Stock agreement.

Good work. Just one point of clarification, if you can:
RE: "There are approximately 110,000 ecommerce websites generating revenue of meaningful scale on the internet."
Can you roughly translate the phrase "meaningful scale" to something like "$x or more per year"?
