Glad you found it interesting. I'm one of the co-founders of CBI, but the heavy lifting on this analysis one was done by our data team. These are good question

Glad you found it interesting. I'm one of the co-founders of CBI, but the heavy lifting on this analysis one was done by our data team. These are good questions but unfortunately, they're hard to answer in a data-driven way. Essentially, there is no way to discern from data your points 1 and 2 as it requires judging founder savvy or VC deal flow quality. While both are plausible, it's hard for me to say conclusively either way.
