Supporting trend evidence (sample)
Problem
Public lacks timely, localized, non-alarmist info on GI outbreaks; CDC data lags by 7–21 days and isn’t consumer-accessible.
Solution
AI-powered dashboard delivering hyperlocal, verified GI outbreak alerts — sourced from CDC NOR, state DOH feeds, and anonymized ER triage logs — with plain-language guidance.
Auto-geolocated outbreak heatmaps (US ZIP-level)
Symptom checker trained on CDC/WHO clinical definitions
Pre-approved prevention & hydration protocols (CDC-reviewed)
Email/SMS alert subscription with opt-in consent automation
Market Analysis
TAM: $1.2B
SAM: $286M
SOM: $12.7M
TAM = US digital health info market (Statista 2023); SAM = adults searching GI outbreak terms × avg. $68/yr willingness-to-pay (KFF 2023 survey); SOM = Y1 capture of 5% of SAM (conservative CAC payback <6mo).

Seed Return Analysis
1. Seed-round ROI by year (realized)
| Holding period | Cumulative ROI | Annualized return |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | -68.50% | -68.50% |
| Year 2 | -42.76% | -24.34% |
| Year 3 | -21.71% | -7.83% |
| Year 4 | -3.87% | -0.98% |
| Year 5 | 11.25% | 2.15% |
Early-stage equity is highly illiquid; negative realized returns in years 1–2 are normal (the classic J-curve), with returns realized via exit events in years 3–5.
2. Core investment metrics
3. 5-year capital outcome breakdown (why "cash realized" ≠ "paper alive")
| Outcome | Probability | Realized return to investor |
|---|---|---|
| Failure / liquidation | 26.8% | ≈ 0 (loss) |
| Alive but no liquidity event (paper-alive / zombie) | 40.2% | ≈ 0 (not realizable) |
| Cash exit event occurred (profitable exits 21.5%) | 33.1% | Realized per MOIC distribution |
Win rate counts only "cash exit with MOIC≥1"; paper survival is excluded, so it reflects the real probability of getting cash back.
4. Sensitivity analysis
| Scenario | 5-yr ROI | 5-yr ann. | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pessimistic | -40.8% | -9.9% | 15.3% |
| Base | 11.3% | 2.1% | 21.5% |
| Optimistic | 78.0% | 12.2% | 27.5% |
5. Upside scenario vs. paper accounting
5.06× multiple; ~50.0% annualized (assuming exit in year 4).
Conditional "profitable exit succeeds" scenario for contrast (not an expected value; occurs with only ~21.49% probability).
Year-5 survival rate ≈ 68.3%.
Paper basis: counts companies still alive in year 5 at a marked valuation as "value" — a non-cashable paper figure. Official return figures never use this basis.

The Ask
Methodology & Sources
All hard financial conclusions are computed by a deterministic model from public, verifiable benchmark data; the AI only writes qualitative narrative and constrained operating assumptions. Out-of-range assumptions are auto-corrected (see above). Returns always use the cash-realized basis.
- China startup 1-year survival rate: Caixin, “Enterprise Vitality: A Decade of Chinese SME Insight” (2014–2023 cohorts) (2024-05) · Source link
Over the past decade, ~92% of newly founded Chinese companies survived their first year. - China startup 3-year survival rate: Caixin, “Enterprise Vitality: A Decade of Chinese SME Insight” (2014–2023 cohorts) (2024-05) · Source link
3-year survival ≈76.0% for 2014–2023 cohorts (annual attrition 8.2% / 9.4% / 6.4%). - China startup 5-year survival (interpolated): Interpolated estimate (geometric, between y3 = 0.76 and y10 = 0.503) (2024-05) · Source link
The report gives no direct 5-year figure; constant-hazard geometric interpolation between years 3 and 10 yields ≈67.5%, explicitly labelled an interpolated estimate. - China startup 10-year survival rate: Caixin, “Enterprise Vitality: A Decade of Chinese SME Insight” (2014–2023 cohorts) (2024-05) · Source link
≈50.3% of companies survive to year ten. - Average Chinese SME lifespan: People’s Bank of China report (widely cited by Chinese media) (2019-06) · Source link
Average Chinese SME lifespan ≈3 years (US ≈8 years, Japan ≈12 years). - Share of VC capital realizing <1x: Correlation Ventures — “Venture Capital, We’re Still Not Normal” (2010s decade (realized)) · Source link
≈37% of invested capital realized <1x (a loss); by deal count, roughly half of deals lose money. - Share of VC capital realizing ≥10x: Correlation Ventures (2010s decade (realized)) · Source link
Less than 4% of invested capital realizes ≥10x (the power-law tail). - VC return power law: Correlation Ventures — “The 80/20 Rule for U.S. Venture? Not Exactly.” (2010s decade) · Source link
Returns are highly right-skewed; a small number of winners contribute most of the profits. - Exit MOIC distribution (calibrated): Calibration: Correlation Ventures realized-return shape + online-asset M&A multiples (Empire Flippers / FE International / Acquire.com, 2026) (2026) · Source link
MOIC distribution conditional on a realized cash liquidity event (M&A / secondary / buyback); upside is compressed for small online assets (rarely >25x). Bucket probabilities sum to 1. - Annual exit-realization hazard (assumption): Documented assumption: median VC exits take ~5–8 years; small online assets transact faster via Acquire.com / Empire Flippers / FE International; calibrated so the cumulative 5-year exit probability ≈40% conditional on survival. (2026) · Source link
Cumulative L(t) = 1-(1-h)^t; h = 0.097 → L(5) ≈ 0.40. Explicitly labelled an assumption and stress-tested in the sensitivity analysis. - Micro-SaaS ARR multiple: CT Acquisitions / Empire Flippers / Acquire.com market observations (2026) · Source link
Micro-SaaS (<$1M ARR) typically trades at 2.5–4x ARR. - Micro-SaaS SDE multiple: FE International / Empire Flippers (2026) · Source link
Typically 4–6x seller discretionary earnings (SDE); assets with low owner-dependency fetch the high end. - Trend annualization factor (model assumption): Documented model assumption: trending interest decays in pulses; annual topic interest ≈ 30 peak-day equivalents (2026)
Google Trends volumes are peak-day buckets; annual topic searches ≈ peak-day volume × 30. Explicitly a disclosed model assumption, bounded by the reach limits below. - Capture share (model assumption): Documented model assumption: a focused niche site captures ~1% of annual topic search interest at maturity (2026)
Derived conservatively from SERP click-share distributions (~28% at #1, ~7% at #5, <1% on page 2); modulated ±50% by data-driven persistence/intent scores. - Reachable-user bounds (model constraint): Documented model constraint: year-3 reachable users are saturation-compressed into [20k, 600k] (2026)
Lower bound = minimum viable niche audience; upper bound = realistic single-niche-site capacity ceiling. Applied via a saturating function, not a hard clamp. - Zero-human fixed ops base (model assumption): Documented model assumption: hosting/compliance/model-subscription/monitoring base ramps $60k → $90k → $120k over years 1-3 (2026)
No payroll (zero-human company); includes outsourced legal/finance and exception-handling budget. - Per-active-user marginal cost (model assumption): Documented model assumption: ~$0.8 per active user per year for inference + infrastructure (2026)
Estimated for lightweight AI workflows with caching and batching. - USD/CNY exchange rate: Recent approximate CNY-per-USD rate (used for conversion; updated as needed) (2026) · Source link
Exchange rates fluctuate; converted figures are approximations as of the stated date. - Seed-round equity dilution: Industry norm: a single seed round typically dilutes 10%–20% (2026) · Source link
Baseline 12%; used to convert enterprise-level exit value into the seed investor’s share. - Early-stage venture discount rate: Early-stage VC required rates of return are typically 30%–60% (high risk premium) (2010s) · Source link
Used for risk-adjusted discounting; baseline 35%.
