Anywhere from zero to billions. Most will probably lose their investments.

Mostly losses…

I don’t know what “average” or “median” exists out there for all seed investors, but I do know that many look for a 10x return.

Some more conservative funds in the Southeast might only aim for 3-5x.

Just depends on the type of investment and fund strategy.
