        @paulg what was the median? And the range? This would be awesome data if you anonymize & make it available for research.

        @ChetanChawla In recent batches the median has ranged between $800k and $1m. The range is 0 to a number I presumably can't disclose.

        @paulg thanks, as you can imagine researchers like me would love to get their hands on such data, huge implications. Hopefully one day.

        @paulg @sfbeta Love the snarkiness of the response, but at least # of female cofounder be should be easy enough to share. #curious
