Given that none of them were +100000% it's all basically noise, right? If you can successfully identify 100x or 1000x companies some percentage of the time you're a good VC. If you can't you either get lucky or go out of business. Everything else is secondary to finding the home runs. Even if you multiply all those advantages together you get: 1.63 * 1.3 * 2.2 * 1.6 * 1.5 * 1.63 * 2.3 * 1.58 = 66 So if you manage to somehow get every single one of those attributes at max in a company you'll get roughly 66x the valuation or performance or whatever versus a company/team with none of them. Of course if you go for all those things you'll probably only get one deal per year. This isn't terribly meaningful.
