The amount Kevin says Wufoo returned to investors, 29, 561%, is wrong. That means a 296x return for investors. Wufoo was acquired for $35, 000, 000, which is 296 times the $118k that YC invested. So Kevin's figure only makes sense if YC bought 100% of Wufoo with that $118, 000. That's certainly not the case. All Kevin did to get that percent figure was divide the acquisition price by the investment amount, which is not how you calculate return on investment.
