Most are 1x-5x "bailouts" I would guess... -- FYI [2x to 5x] are ~wins, not bailouts. Portfolio returns in the aggregate of 20%+ are fine. A 2x on 1 year investment, for example, is outstanding performance. But overall, HR acquisitions are "operational failures" for the founder and the VC, and nothing to boast about. You're startup has only proved it can out-perform the HR department of a Big-Co. Not hard to do with a pile of cash, really.
