Given that Cal Henderson & Slack appears in the chart twice with different numbers each time, I'd take these figures with a grain of salt.

Plus the tone of the article makes it seem like a quick marketing piece to try and advertise their VC fund.

Ah, the repeated companies had me confused for a moment, too! The list is partitioned by { company, founder } (note the different ownership percentages), which is why some companies appear multiple times.

There are repeated entries for the same company+founder but with different values. It doesn't make any sense.

Additionally sometimes the founder's name is right in one row but not in the other e.g. Cloudflare's Matthew Prince (right) vs Matthew Price (wrong).

Not a good look.

Oh man, upon looking closer, I now realize you and this thread’s OP are right. That data is really messy. I agree, it’s not a good look.
