I was curious to see what companies were part of the S12 batch, and who were the most notable. Among the 80 or so in that group, big winners were Coinbase, Instacart, and Zapier.

With Coinbase ipo'ed and Instacart about to ipo, that's not a bad batch from a purely investment perspective.

Coinbase? they're down 80% since their IPO (I am a shareholder); I suppose if the checkbox is "they IPOd" then sure.

Down 80% from IPO but with a market cap above 10 billion. Compared to when YC invested I think that’s still pretty good

[PeterisP]

Investors generally cash out at IPO, so if IPO price was 5x the real/current value, then that was a very, very profitable deal for the early investors.

[platelminto]

I mean, that’s a pretty big checkbox regardless.

Shareholder since IPO vs when YC invests

[mcguire]

Is YC still an investor?
