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.

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.

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