If anything, this analysis under-represents the success of solo founders. Because VCs don't like solo founders, it's less likely they go for a VC path. There must be plenty of successes that are bootstrapped. And these solo founders may not even bother adding their company to Crunchbase.

I'm one of those.

What if, because they are not liked the choosing criteria are stricter and therefore it's more likely that the successful ones will be picked?
