Ok, but if that's what you're trying to solve, how about the full anonymized dataset available for everyone to crunch instead of letting marketing produce a few cherry-picked stats?
Might be just me, but I've met my own fair share of deluded founders and very bright ones. It would be a public service for everyone out there if they could see a VC's deal flow exposed as it is, and be able to crunch a few numbers before they apply.
Might you get less deal flow if you did that? Maybe. Might the deal flow be more interesting? Might also be...
Either way, though, you'd be a very interesting source of data for anyone trying to figure out "Do I tick most of the boxes to get funding or am I just wasting my time?" Raising funds takes lots of enery. Even Paul Graham says so here:
