A observe on knowledge. I am utilizing knowledge from Crunchbase. This knowledge has numerous limitations resembling: (1) The info is self reported. (2) When the information is reported, not each discipline is required. So, there are firms that report the quantity raised, however not the valuation or vice versa. All I’m doing is taking that knowledge as it’s, and calculating averages. I might love good knowledge, however sadly, I am doing the most effective with what we have. Whereas the information is imperfect, I hope it is extremely worthwhile for founders to grasp the final state of the market presently and the way it’s altering over time. I hope it helps you.
