Would love to see a series of good curves:

(1) of all startup'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:

(total income from startup - opportunity cost of hours worked on startup) / years spent

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.

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.

(2) of funded all startup; the alpha of investment: total return on investment - (S&P500 Index return in duration of funding to IPO/exit) / (S&P Index Return)

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...

Would love to see the distribution of return on investing in startup's as an investor vs. investing in S&P500.
