Not YC, but I know of quite a large web application (in the order of a million users, but not that heavy traffic) that makes use of SQLite.
I don't think it's the right tool for every job but in this case no data is shared between users. Therefore partitioning is achieved by having an SQLite database per user.
Don't underestimate the power of SQLite (and to some extent other flat file databases like BDB, TDB or CDB for fast lookups).
