Comment on Ask HN: Do dead YC companies sell their brands/IP?

Comments

I have no inside knowledge, but I'd guess that if those are valuable, they probably acquired. If not, those things won't amount to much. Sure, you could sell your brand and domain and fetch a couple of thousand dollars, but would that be worth the effort and risk of someone using your (even if dead) brand to do illegal stuff? I guess not! It's better to just write the whole thing off.
