Great find!

Rarely get to see how others think on deals. Led me to try this out with my own substack.

I believe it varies across co's. Here's what I found for FB

"Netflix NFLX CEO Reed Hastings and Peter Thiel both collected $349,151 just for being on Facebook's board in 2017, mostly in the form of stock awards. The other three members of the board made comparable amounts last year." https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/all-fun-salary-info-uncovere...

Mike, thanks for the observation!

The chart is correct, but theoretically you could flip the axes and the shape of the chart would still be true.

Power Law Distributions in early stage investing a low frequency of high expected returns, and high frequency of low expected returns.

"but theoretically you could flip the axes and the shape of the chart would still be true."

I'm not sure what you mean. I just have tried literally what you have suggested, and of course it is not true. Here's the code:

    x <- rnorm(1000)
    h <- hist(x, breaks = 100)
    plot(h$counts, h$mid)

Am I missing something obvious?

Odds are most early stage venture portfolios have a power law distribution, but of different magnitude.

Later stage you go, the more normal the distribution will look

PMF is when the startup has i) identified which users are desperate for the product, ii) made a product that customers can’t get enough of (demand feels exponential), and iii) found a business model that works
