While the data is interesting I don't think it's very useful. For founders, many of these are things you can't change. One of the few actionable points for founders is about having the right kind of cofounders. For VCs this data doesn't tell them what they really want to know. VCs want to invest in outliers. They say right near the beginning of the article that they removed Uber from the data. Actionable data for VCs would have info to help identify potential Ubers or AirBnBs.
