Where in the article do you see 73% were not VC-backed? It doesn't have that number anywhere.

Apparently they changed the content of the link.

I got the link from e-mail of

from CBInsights.

In that e-mail is

"73% of tech exits were not VC-backed

If you grabbed our 2014 Tech Exits Report

http://cbinsights.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c60818e...

, this stat might have jumped out at you."

The 73% figure did show in the link when I made my post -- checked to be sure.

Apparently now to get their 73% figure, have to use the page at the link to request their report.

It doesn't have that stat, but you can calculate it from the numbers given: 2886 total exits and 640 (589 + 51) VC backed exits.
