What the filings show

There is nothing to show. No Form D notice appears under CareLedger, Inc. or a close variant in the records compiled for this profile, and no EDGAR mention of the company under any other filer’s Form D turned up either. The $120,000 figure below comes from a funding aggregator (Gaebler.com, citing VentureDeal.com) and an archived Crunchbase page, not from a regulatory filing. A company this small, raising only the standard accelerator check, would not be unusual in skipping a separate Form D if the money moved through Y Combinator’s own instruments rather than a stand-alone offering.

Reading the record

  1. The amount matches YC’s own check, not a separate raise.$120,000 was Y Combinator’s standard batch investment amount for the period CareLedger went through the program, which is consistent with this being the accelerator’s own money rather than a distinct outside seed round.
  2. Sources disagree on who else was in the round.Crunchbase’s archived page and Bounce Watch both name Social Starts as an investor alongside Y Combinator. The Gaebler.com funding record, sourced to VentureDeal.com, lists only Y Combinator. Neither claim is confirmed by a regulatory filing.
  3. Nothing followed.No second financing announcement, funding database entry, or press mention appears after August 2015. That silence lines up with the company’s status: Y Combinator’s own alumni database, YCDB, marks it “Dead,” and Tracxn lists it as “Deadpooled.”
  4. The domain itself is a record.Archived captures of careledger.com show the original site running in 2015 and unrelated, unconnected content running by December 2019, still in place as of a 2022 capture. That gap, roughly four years with no capture of the real company’s site, is consistent with a shutdown well before the domain was allowed to lapse and get resold.
