Startup data trends (which gets its data via AngelList's API) shows 18799 startups in total when you search on location "Earth" http://startupdatatrends.com/?tags=1643
It's reasonable to think that most of these startups created AngelList accounts in 2011 (given hornbaker's Alexa graph).

It looks like that's 500 Startups WITH 10+ intros. # of intros is probably a good indicator of whether or not they got funded.
I would read that as 500 startups that got funded. I imagine there are WAY more startups that signed up.

Yep, it is startups with 10+ intros only. We get about 100 startup profiles a day.
