Best Y axis labeling I've ever seen.
If it isn't exponential, does it even count?

Emerging companies should look for prophetic VCs.
Scaling companies should look for kingmaker VCs.
We ranked every fund so you can know the difference.

We ranked every VC (43,000 of them!) as a Kingmaker or a Prophet Kingmakers plow money into the best companies, arming them with an unfair advantage to outspend their competitors tokenmaxxing, talent harvesting, and selling at a ridiculous pace Prophets find the best companies first. They have the elusive 'taste' to know which company will only be a unicorn, and which will be the next decacorn (or larger) Link 👇

@harris Makes sense. You could split it, I suppose. Historical data with exits is "Prophets for liquidity", current data is "Prophets for markups".
The first is about 100x harder than the second ; P

@BryanOffutt I like that idea, we're working on exit data now.
One of things we've been trying to understand is the set of leading indicators to those eventual exits.
That's hard given the available dataset and timelines here, so we'll keep iterating.

@harris This is a really interesting idea, but my one piece of feedback is that it should really only be based on companies with an actual exit event (or a clearly inevitable one, e.g. Databricks).

If this was a book, I would buy it and give it to all my founders.

Took a pause in publishing these to have a baby. Now, back to writing! Publishing my next one shortly -- targeted at all the founders out there who have only ever raised on SAFEs 😀

I'm a chronic tinkerer of my own schedule and process. Recently it compounded into Nerve, the multiagent OS that runs my life AND Finch (Series B, 100+ employees). 3,000+ brain notes, 145 background jobs, agents running on Ralph loops.🧵

1/ @OctopusEnergy is backing Living Carbon with $500M to reforest degraded land and remove CO₂ across North America. This major project financing comes with an additional ~$13M investment in our carbon business.
Living Carbon is putting low quality land back to work. Our innovative reforestation turns low quality land into thriving forests faster to remove carbon or produce sustainable forest products.

Introducing "The Prophet Index" - a ranking of which VCs find the best companies first.
They are prophets of profit.

There's this moment during a fundraise where the founder realizes what they've been trying to do all along.
Like finding the key that unlocks all the ambition they've never fully articulated.
All of a sudden the whole story falls into place.
Magic.

And yes, @daniel_levine I know you're going to have feedback. Send it over :)

We just rebuilt fund pages for 43,000+ venture investors to deliver clear, insightful data to every founder (for free obviously).
Not bad for a (first release on a) Tuesday.
English
PSA for founders who ever plan to fundraise:
Do not publicly post revenue numbers, or unlabeled “growth graphs,” or retention figures.
This is a bad idea. Go read @matt_levine if you don’t know why.

$474m raised in Series As last week
For context, that's less than 50% of what ineffable intelligence raised in a seed round today
