Interesting, WakeMate was a YC company and is now part of 500Startups. There may be other.

I wonder how does moving from one incubator to another work? any info? Or, did they kinda failed at securing any funding after YC and tried luck at another incubator.

NOTE: I'm more curious about the process and am not pointing finger at WakeMate.

There are a bunch of YC companies that go on to get additional funding from 500Startups. Dave McClure comes to YC demo day.

Pretty sure in dinero and ginza metrics are YC as well.

Both offer money, contacts and expertise.

Wakemate and these startups were not part of the 500 Startups accelerator program but part of the seed fund.

BTW, MarketBrief, formerly Secwatch, YC S11 was part of the old LaunchBox Digital accelerator in '09.

500 Startups also has a seed fund.

Not so much "live" now, but the Launch.is coverage of today was pretty good http://launch.is/blog/live-blogging-500-startups-demo-day-au...

I read it as "500 Startups at Demo Day."

Congrats to TK and the team at ToutApp.com! Keep up the good work guys!
