Under [[Houston Entrepreneurship]] umbrella.
==VC Funds in Houston==
[[Joe Reilly (Work Log)]] details the work he did on VC funds in Houston.
The files are in:
E:\McNair\Projects\Houston\VCData.
The key files are:
*VC firms with address, basic sector info.xlsx
*Venture Funds.txt
Cleaned Address file is:
*HoustonVCFundAddresses.txt
This file excludes 3 VCs where we can't find their addresses:
*Crest Capital Ventures Headquartered somewhere in Houston. Official address maybe in Delaware
*Resolute Venture Partners Hdqt in Austin; has an office somewhere in Houston
*S3 Ventures Hdqt in Austin; has an office somewhere in Houston
These addresses can be plotted using googleplotter.py, which is in:
E:\McNair\Software\CodeBase\New Implement of Enclosing Circle (Constrained K Means, Smallest Circle)
==To Do==
1. Find updated cohort lists for each "green" entity on this table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1twOP16uzHJC_xJzKZza1VEzlSfHtbJm_bJShxfp4DG0/edit#gid=0
2. Turn each cohort list into a text file
3. Run text files through SDC Platinum to determine %VC, %Aquired, %IPO, %Top VC, and VC return rates.
==Chevron Technology Ventures==
[[Chevron Technology Ventures]]
==The Status Quo==
===The Main Start-up Lists===
Houston Starts-up List
*Came from houston.startups-list.com
*348 Companies
*Searched for the name in Google: therefore all alive and in Houston
**Could be start-ups or small biz
*Fields: Name, Short Desc, Long Desc, URL
*To Do: clean up URL
SDC VC Port Co:
*Repull this file!
*Use column from both files
*PWCMoneytree deals
Angel List:
*Two files
**Angel by joined
**Angel by signal
*Fields include:
**Name, Subtitle (short desc), datejoined?, location (restrict to Houston), market (sector), url, employees range, stage, total invested
*To do:
**Merge the two files
**clean up the URLS
**Remove the non-Houston
*Estimated yield 350 to ???
*Issues: Includes non-start-ups.
*Total raised is weak indicator of Angel investment
Filtered Startups from Crunchbase cleaned:
*Name, URL, brief description, address
*118 of them (snaphealth, hireinfluence are on twice), 65 have addresses
*Iris requirements:
**Search: companies, houston
**Received seed, angel, equity crowd, venture
**Alive
**In Houston
**Not acquired, didn't go public
*To do: minor clean up!
===The Accelerated Start-ups===
Starts-Accelerators (Clean):
*Doesn't include HTC information (has the start-ups though)
*Fields:
**Name
**Accelerator
**Status (cohort, cohort year, stage of dev, type of client)
**Desc
**URL
**Address
**Email (contact info)
*289 records. Some firms may have gone through multiple accelerators?
*70 have addresses - Might be able to get more address info, particularly some accelerators (Red House, HTC - scattering)

**Surge
**Red Labs
**START Houston
**Red House Associates
**HTC
**Fannin Innovation Studio

| We co-found the company with you. If the technology really is promising (with some third-party validation), we’ll do the work of setting up the cofounding company, licensing in the technology and working with you to design the next phase of development. At the beginning phases, we work for equityacquiring capital/grants, so that the seed money that we put in when the company is started all goes for third-party expenses to advance development. We’ll assign a senior Fannin manager to be responsible for the program, supported by in-house professionals, fellows and interns who will handle much of the day-to-day workadministration assistance. Because we manage many companies on a pooled basis, you won’t get all of our attention 100% of the time – but you will get 100% of our attention when it matters, and we’ve found that this approach works particularly well Assistance in life science product developmentexchange for equity. | Given the substantial time it takes most products to reach points of significant value enhancementseed money, we try to use early “seed” dollars sparingly and seek out non-dilutive grants and other funding sources to make the early equity go farther. We will not use the seed dollars we provide to fund basic research in your lab. But we will work with you to go after grants, and we have a great record of doing successfully. At some point in time, howeverinvestment, it may make sense to ramp up the effort – by building out the management team and seeking substantial institutional venture capital funding to accelerate development, but this is the exception and not the rule. More often, we reach out and identify strategic industry partners and we try move to involve them in the development program.next stage
