We invest in more b2b companies than you realize. You just don't hear about them much because b2b companies are quieter. For example, one of the most successful startups we've funded is Clustrix, but the nature of their business is such that if the general public ever knows their name it will be as a Nasdaq listing.

Isn't Clustrix funded by Sequoia Capital: http://www.sproutsys.com/investors.html
Yes, they're one of 3 YC alumni companies that are.
Is there a reason that some of the companies you fund, like Clustrix, are not mentioned at http://ycombinator.com/faq.html ?
Clustrix is still in beta, I think. But I probably should put them there.
Is there a good place to get more info about these quiet startups?
That makes sense - B2C businesses have every reason to post here, and other places, to get customers. B2B don't, they might even suffer from it.

Thanks for clearing it up :-)
