Every number, with its method attached.
A small, honestly-disclosed sample is more credible than a big number with a hidden denominator. Here's exactly what we know, how we know it, and what we don't.
How to read a startup statistic
For perspective: exit valuations at Techstars, a leading accelerator, range from $10M to $3B, with an average of $20.7M at a 34% exit rate. That's the kind of outcome the top of this field produces — and it's the honest frame for any comparison.
We won't publish a multiplier claiming we're "Nx better" than YC or anyone else. Those numbers compare incomparable denominators and fall apart under ten seconds of scrutiny. We cannot guarantee a specific outcome. What we can say is precise and small: in our pilot of six teams, five were profitable or exited at ten years, and two generated exits.
If those numbers grow, we'll update them here with the same disclosure. Until then, n=6 is the honest denominator and we're going to keep saying so.
