Funny table, but does not showing anything about the success of those businesses or the VCes. As far as this table shows, each of these companies may have been a total failure, which I am sure is not true.
There should be columns like "profits", "revenue", "median profits", "number of profitable companies". Such type of columns will show how successful are both the companies and the accelerators.
Also the "average lifespan" and "number of companies still operating" could be other interesting metrics that provide an insight on how sustainable are those companies.

- fidanov 14y agoYou are right. Its hard + I suppose some VC companies will try to prevent revealing such data, as it will not show them in the best possible light.
