Do you think diminishing marginal returns applies to investors on board? If so, I think that chart is probably worth thinking about.

After a point, yes. The graph is trying to convey two things: below a
certain threshold, investors who you think are totally “on board” can drop
off and seriously threaten the syndicate. Above that threshold, there are
diminishing marginal returns for additional investors — and can be a
serious suck of the CEO's time.

Oh man, so true.. so true. David Cohen likes to say that if you can get the first third of your round funded, getting the rest is a lot easier. My experience has born that out as well, although it gets much easier once you get the first half.
