The market cap of these companies IMO is possibly misleading.

Much of that gain came after going public, so we are looking at large corporate returns rather than startup returns.

If “startup investing” as opposed to “holding stock of a public company” you might want to measure gains to IPO at most.

Additionally inorganic growth or 'buying other companies' has consolidated many other startups into these giants and it makes any kind of analysis on successful founders ages considerably harder.

This is an astute observation.
