*This page is a part of series in [[Classifying Names by Culture]]
This page details the (currently 1st draft version) construction of the Cultural Homogenteity in Venture Capital Data. This data is posted for reference (and debate) by project members. The choices made in constraints, variables, processing, and so forth are often arbitrary and will no doubt be changed as the project progresses.
*Company Executives with the following SQL constraint were marked as founders:
**Like "*Founder*" Or Like "*Chief Exec*" Or Like "*CEO*" Or (Like "President*" Or "Co-President") Or Like "*Chairman*"
*Company Executives marked as "N" for Non-Managing Board Members were coded as Managing
*Fund Executives meeting the following SQL constraint were marked as "Partners" (broadly defined):
**(Like "*Partner*" And Not Like "Admin*" And Not Like "Advisor*" And Not Like "Limited*") Or "Principal" Or "Director" Or "Managing Director" Or "CEO" Or Like "*Founder*" Or Like "*Investment*" Or Like "*Executive Officer*"
*Fund Executives were marked as ServedOnBoard if they appeared on the board of any portfolio company in the dataset at any time
*The Company and fund zip codes were standardized to 5 digits
*Companies must not have null or "Undisclosed" names
*Funds must not be named "Undisclosed Fund" and must have participated in a first round of investment in the period of interest (i.e. within the constraint on date of first investment on companies) ==Output Files== Based on the above processing, the following comma-seperated, text-quoted, text files were created (Note requires ftp login):*[ftp://ftp.edegan.com/repository/CulturalVC-CoExecutives.txt CulturalVC-CoExecutives.txt]*[ftp://ftp.edegan.com/repository/CulturalVC-FundExecutives.txt CulturalVC-FundExecutives.txt]*[ftp://ftp.edegan.com/repository/CulturalVC-Rounds.txt CulturalVC-Rounds.txt]
