What model are you using under the hood?


Thought I'd flag that you do not have contact info in your profile!

I’ve been helping founders with fundraising for some time and compiled my thoughts here:

It’s a guide explicitly written with first-time founders in mind. Hope it helps; feedback is welcome.

Not seeing this in any of the comments so far so logged in to say:

Wikipedia is very easy to game unfortunately.


I don't consider Wikipedia a valid reference for anything more trivial than sports statistics or Hollywood trivia these days.

I'd imagine the amount of blatant organized 'revisioning' by nation states, NGOs, for-profit corporations, and politically biased individuals is now dwarfing the objective individual contributors who once were the majority of Wikipedia's editors.


Mind clarifying what funds you spoke to (VC or PE, which geographies)? Curious whether your sample size is Bay Area or elsewhere.


Both VC (70%) and PE (30%). 90% in US, 17% in EU and 3% in Canada. 31% in the Bay Area (many growth stage funds are now in NYC).

I only bought items on the Windows Store because I had a few $25 Windows Store vouchers as well.

They stopped selling Music around January 2018?


Unfortunately this is highly misleading without the ability to customize (e.g. capital raised, liquidation preferences, future rounds, etc.).
