"Average % Revenue growth in pre-seed companies" is a very noisy metric.

Example:

Suppose you had one company doing $10 in sales a year, now it's doing $100 per year. 900% growth!

When you average 900% with the rest, it will skew the results wildly.

Yeah, it is even possible to do this sort of analysis in domains with exponentially-distributed outcomes?

Yes, but it will be incredibly misleading. You'd want to look at the distribution of outcomes to get a sense of what's really happening. The startup I work for is remote first but has some offices so we wouldn't count as fully remote even though we mostly are.
