I actually once did a short contract for a YC company who I found on the monthly "Looking for freelancer" thread here. That was quite a few years ago now though, I don't think those threads have as good a signal:noise ratio as they did, unfortunately.

I've not really had much luck finding freelance contracts with US companies, as the ones that have good rates usually (understandably) want people in the same timezone. All my contracts since 2013 have been in the Netherlands.
