Ask HN: What are some examples of successful companies rejected by YC?

Naturally, YC cannot accept everyone that applies. We know that many YC alumni have gone on to be successful, but we don't hear too much about the companies that were rejected and have now gone on to become going concerns. YCombinator is not the only way to launch a startup. How many that are turned away actually continue working on their startups, and successfully?
