> the companies that receive Indie.vc funding seem to be much more robust than their peers, especially in a challenging economic climate. On average, they’re growing 100% in the first year, and 300% the second year, says Roberts.
Is this measuring revenue, users, profits, or something else? If it's revenue or users, I would guess that most VC-backed startups grow faster than this. If they're looking at profits, then probably the VCs do worse.
> Plus, the fund’s mortality rate is 10% — compared to about 44% with traditional VC-backed companies.
Are they looking at the same time period? If Indie.vc's portfolio is younger, then they would obviously have fewer deaths than traditional VCs.
Basically, it looks like the author wanted to put down impressive-looking numbers without the context that would make clear if the underlying facts are actually impressive or not.
