Would love to see a series of good curves:<p>(1) of all startup&#x27;s started by people who working in the industry, quit FT jobs to do startup or put in serious moonlighting hours in startup; total earnings - opportunity cost, annualized:<p>(total income from startup - opportunity cost of hours worked on startup) &#x2F; years spent<p>Maybe this data-set should be split further into bins of founders whose last title prior to startup were only individual contributors, or were executives, their age and pedigree etc.<p>Would love to see the distribution + standard deviation say, for computer programmer who quits the job to do a startup would gain or lose in earnings per year.<p>(2) of funded all startup; the alpha of investment: total return on investment - (S&amp;P500 Index return in duration of funding to IPO&#x2F;exit) &#x2F; (S&amp;P Index Return)<p>Maybe this data-set should be split further into bins of people involved: founders, first 10 percentile employees by join date, second 50 percentile employees and so forth...<p>Would love to see the distribution of return on investing in startup&#x27;s as an investor vs. investing in S&amp;P500.
