I'm looking for a graph and accompanying data table that looks very much like the attached graph graph, "Historical US Venture Fund Performance," from the book, The Customer-Funded Business.

I went back to the professor who created the above-linked graph. He no longer had the original data or a data table to accompany it since it was visualized for a slide deck years ago. (By a data table, I just mean a table based on the data visualized, not the underlying data.)

Consistent with the methodology in this publication, https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Publication%20Files/17-065_6cccf406-042e-4aa6-bf9a-fb3aba945e77.pdf, I think the best way to obtain this data would be 1) capping the last fund vintage at 2008 and using the VentureXpert database or PitchBook or any other data source that would show the VC funds in a series of vintages. I don't have access to the these database and would not request the underlying data, only the derivative data that looks like the attached chart showing the percentage of VC firms that achieve a specific IRR.

Or if you know of any publications where this is already published, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
