The Power Law in Practice • 10,000-20,000 companies will be funded by Angels • 1,000-2,000 will get VC funding • 50-100 are “OK, but not great” (exit > $50M) • 10 +/- 5 will be special (exit > $500M) • The best company in a given year will usually be more valuable than all other 9,999 companies combined
