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==

==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)
*Records from:
**TMCx - Doesn't record when they joined
**Surge
**Red Labs
**START Houston
**Red House Associates
**HTC
**Fannin Innovation Studio
**OwlSpark
**Fruition Labs
**Houston Health Ventures (Accelerator)
**Enventure
*To Do:
**Double check the counts by accelerator!!!
**Question the selection bias???
**Worried that they aren't Houston firms
Houston Incubators Cleaned as far as I can:
*Biotech Commercialization Center at Uni of Texas Health Science Center is only incubator found!
**BCC Sheet: 10 companies
**Fields:
**Name, URL, desc, address, crunchbase links
