My experience is that common can be one-third of preferred. I'm sure that spread varies, but it's wider than you're describing.

Out of pure curiosity, what perspective would give one this experience? I guessing working at a VC fund?
Founding and working for multiple startups, including some that were fairly successful and therefore attracted multiple rounds of funding. I can't claim to have as much data as a VC would have, but I certainly have seen wider spreads personally, so I can attest that they exist.
Got it. Thanks for sharing!

I wish there were a better clearing house for this sort of collective experience. I guess HN serves that purpose, to an extent, but it's hardly organized.
