Max - appreciate the feedback. What other data points / insights would make it more useful? We've been doing these teardowns for various elite firms (Sequoia, Accel, USV, etc)and the reaction has been very good.
In fact, Fred Wilson of USV did a teardown of our teardown - http://avc.com/2014/08/tearing-down-the-teardown/ http://avc.com/2014/08/tearing-down-the-teardown/
Let me know. Feel free to ping me directly as well at asanwal(at)cbinsights(dot)com.
Thanks.

(statistics, trends, etc.) The post of YC data is essentially limited to SQL queries using aggregate GROUP BY functions, with the article photos specifically cropped to showcase your analysis tools.
