Show HN: Chart of VCs Success Rate

8 pointsby yoouareperfect4 months ago
Hey HN,<p>I’ve been curious about how different VCs stack up in terms of the number of investments they’ve made versus the number of exits (acquisitions, IPOs, etc.) they’ve seen. To satisfy that curiosity—and hopefully share something useful—I created a simple chart that compares VCs’ total investments against their exits.<p>Why I built this:<p>I was looking for a quick visual snapshot of which firms are most active and how many of their deals have led to notable exits.<p>While it’s not a definitive measure of a VC’s success, it’s still an interesting proxy, especially for anyone researching the track records of various funds.

Nice one. If I&#x27;m reading this right, the chances of successful exit are roughly 15%? That seems like some good odds considering the potential asymmetrical upside.

Nice visualisation! Some entities seem to have &quot;undefined&quot; on the graph that you might want to double check.
