Other data points that might be interesting if you could track them down:

1. How long it took companies to exit.

2. Financing raised (also against age of the company, so average individual rounds raised and average time between rounds).

3. Running expenses (perhaps broken down: legal, hardware, people, marketing/ads, etc.)

4. Revenue.

5. Userbase growth.

Asking a lot, but would be great information to have. :)

There's a real problem with the sex distribution numbers. Not saying it's a YC problem, but it is a problem. There're too many talented women out there to lose them to other industries. When we can pull them over here, watch out!

It is a very serious problem, but one that is difficult to solve. Especially when science and tech are male dominated fields. I think it begins with empowering the younger generation of women (think school aged K-6) and getting them interested in math, science and tech.
