Food: Khalil closed 14 of the 34 pitches he saw. Fashion: Abbas, 9 of 26. Fintech: Sallam made no offer in 8.

Deals each regular investor closed in an industry

Sample of 150 investor–industry pairsdeals out of the pitches the investor saw

Pick your industry above the chart. Each bar is one regular investor: how many deals they closed out of the pitches in that industry they sat through. In food and drink, Khalil closed 14 of the 34 pitches he saw. In fashion, Abbas closed 9 of 26. In fintech, Sallam saw 8 pitches and made no offer.

A few investors show more deals than offers in an industry. That happens when they joined another investor’s offer late instead of making their own. Small industries have few pitches, so treat a rate built on fewer than 10 pitches as an example, not a pattern.

Use the chart to choose who to address first, not to ignore the rest: most deals on the show have more than one investor. Tap a bar to see that investor’s deals in your industry.
