Key figures

  • CO-FOUNDER occupation itemizations sum to $54,239,111 from 4,814 contributions and 542 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $11,267 per contribution and about $100,072 per donor record.
  • FOUNDER is a separate occupation key with its own facts.
  • The tiny donor pool makes the means sensitive to a heavy tail of large itemizations.

Extreme concentration in a tiny record set

542 donor records against $54,239,111 is about $100,072 per donor record. 4,814 itemizations imply about $11,267 per contribution and about 9 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic results on a very small key. A handful of large itemizations can dominate the average.

The packet has no median and no top-gift list. Do not treat about $100,072 as a typical co-founder check.

FOUNDER is a separate page with more donors and a lower mean per record. This overlay cites only $54,239,111, 4,814 contributions, and 542 donors.

Hyphenation and self-reporting

Co founder, cofounder, and co-founder can split across keys if normalization did not collapse them. This page is the CO-FOUNDER match in the indexed extract. Best-efforts collection records the donor’s spelling.

The word does not prove a venture-backed company or a two-person founding team. Employer, when filled, is a different column and is not one of the three packet facts.
