Is that true? Was Photobucket or MySpace a "big success"? They certainly sold for a lots of money, but profitable was never a strong suit was it?

By big successes I mean companies big enough to go public.

Honest question: by that definition, how many YC companies have been big successes?

I scanned this list, and don't see many public companies... http://yclist.com/

I guess Airbnb and Dropbox could go public if they wanted. The stock market likes companies that print money!
