Does it make sense to ignore outliers here? The VC model makes most of it returns on the top few performers.

It's not a question of ignoring outliers; the point he's making is that these investments were never a part of the Techstars portfolio to begin with but were independent investments by people affiliated with Techstars.

using the same logic if you count investments of YC partners that were not part of YC the final number will probably be much higher than $80B.
