    You scared me at first :O , but you are right, team dynamics, execution and structure is what makes a company successful...

    Some of the funding data may be skewed. It's possible that upon being accepted to TC50, companies were able to get funding because of the opportunity of having a breakout hit. Subsequently, they updated TC on their funding details.

    Thx. I use IAMWW w2. I'm searching the site for the download link, but it seems like the creator has taken it down.

    If you list the 10, i bet we can all fill in the blanks. The triggit link doesn't make sense to me, btw.

    Most of it is Silicon Valley echo chamber. I think eventually twitter will go into shitter as I do not see the business model...

    Great blog post. With Popego we raised a seed round of $250K.. I'm impressed we are actually on the long tail.

    Interesting data! We would be on the very long tail as well with 3scale (does your own money count?). Didn't make it to the final, but had a very successful demo pit day. Good conference!
