Reply to comment by phdoofus in [OC] Fundraising for Venture Capital follows the power law, with most of the funding going to the top firms by subset1

Noted.

How come? I feel like I tend to see "power laws" looking like this, when I Google it.

Showing power law data on a linear axis can result in most of your data literally being invisible except for a couple of data points.

Ah I see what you're saying, although that was kind of the point I wanted to portray: that most of the funds are on the left and look minuscule compared to the few on the right.

And also that's why I posted the two grids for the bottom 20 and the top 20 since I thought it wasn't very helpful to show all 305 funds.

Thanks for the feedback though :)
