Since I’m mainly doing this for my own interest and this isn’t supposed to be a scientific analysis, I’m going to instead look at the 2019 list and compare it to the 2009 list. 2009 was the nadir of the global economic crisis, followed up an unprecedented bull market. In 2009, white males made up about 70% of the list vs. 56% in 2019.

Starting in 2009 I began writing checks consistently, year-in and year-out. During this era, from 2009–2015, most founders I knew were in it for building great & sustainable companies.
