Filestack YCS12 is a mistake, it's very active.
Filestack was acquired by Scaleworks: https://www.scaleworks.com/companies
It’s not really dead, but not really a “startup” in the traditional sense anymore either.

For context, Coda's last valuation was $1.4B in July 2021 and Grammarly's was $13B in November 2021. Grammarly's revenue is likely taking a hit with the rise of LLMs and they were always at risk of being a feature by not owning the document editor itself. An all-in-one approach to compete with Notion (and Google Docs, Confluence, Sharepoint, etc) makes sense, but time will tell if this merger works.
Obviously, there are often different services that share the same name, but given that Vanta isn't an actual word in the English language, I would think this might be confusing for people.
As a data point of one, I just assumed Vanta (the company) was doing a Show HN today and was confused at first glance.
