Reports

Questions the published profiles can answer that a rewrite of someone else's article cannot. Each report recomputes itself from the records, so the numbers move when founders do.

  1. Time to launch

    How long did the first version take, from starting to build to shipping?

  2. Startup cost benchmarks

    What did it cost to get the first version out the door?

  3. Revenue by team size

    Do solo founders earn less than small teams?

  4. Revenue by business model

    Does how a business charges predict how much it earns?

How this list works

A report is one question answered from the published profiles, recomputed every time the page is built. Nothing here is written by hand except the question: the medians, the groupings and the sample sizes come out of the records themselves.

A segment appears only when enough businesses sit behind it to be worth reading, and a report is offered to search only when it can compare at least two. Where the data cannot answer a question honestly, the report says so rather than filling the gap.

Every figure on a profile carries its source, its date and a label saying whether anyone stands behind it. How figures work.
