Some of us will get rejected by YC in a few weeks. Here's a thread to help you keep yourself in the game despite a rejection.

Successful is a relative term, but basically I mean they raised capital, had an exit, or are making significant profit.

If you could write what kind of success they received, that would be awesome as well.

Some examples I found

Storenvy - Raised 1.5 m

SendGrid - Went through TechStars after rejection. 21.6 million series B.
