Founder Reachability 2026 — original StartupFundraising.com research on investor activity, founder benchmarks, and fundraising trends.
Founder Reachability is one slice of the 2026 research programme. It is rebuilt from the founder database rather than restated from a prior edition, which means the counts move when the underlying founders do.
We publish founder reachability because the question comes up in nearly every fundraise and the public answers are usually anecdote. The charts are generated from the founder database; the related reports below cut the same corpus on adjacent dimensions.
