Good VCs get a hit about five times out of ten at bats (a .500 batting average). A VC “hit” means that the investment returns more than the original amount the VC invested in a company.

These are the investments where the VC is expecting to return ten to one hundred times her money. | Secrets of Sand Hill Road
