The goal of Venture Capital is to stimulate growing businesses by providing capital with After performing the expectation of appreciation. Venture capitalists will invest in whichever businesses they see fit. While appropriate matches, isolating unique company names, and normalizing the precise definition of "fit" companies varies by venture capitalisttext files, there are we were able to isolate three specific industries (and five industrysub-wide trends. Take, for instance, the dot com boomclasses) into which these VC/F500 companies fell. In that time periodThese industries were Information Technology, Venture Capital reached an all time high of $27M in 1999 [https://www.statista.com/chartMedical/2732Health/venture-capital-investments-in-the-us/]. Like in any other market, there are trends in VC investment. Moreover, these trends tend to reflect greater movements within the economy Life Science (Which I'll abbreviate as we saw with the boom in '99MHLS), and Non-'01, the decline in the recession)High Technology.
Like in venture Beyond the disconnect between capitaland tenure, we found that compared to their Fortune 500 trends develop by sectorpeers, location, and overarching market conditionsventure backed companies perform fairly well. ObviouslyIn fact, with Information Technology VC backed firms in the fortune 500 have longer F500 lifespans than do the development of average F500 company. MHLS and Non-high technology and advent firms hover around/at the average lifespan of internet, tech companies arose in the list14 years.[http://csinvesting.

=='''Greater trends in the Fortune 500 and Venture Capital'''==
On a macroscopic level, we found it difficult to isolate trends that prevailed across all sectors. However, what we didn't find was just as interesting as what we did. First and foremost, our data does not show any evidence that total VC investment has anything to do with tenure in the Fortune 500. This may be a result of cutthroat competition, or some internal, managerial factors. This could be an interesting avenue to explore.
Our goal is to isolate trends in Venture Capital since 1980, and compare those trends to changes in the Fortune 500 over timemost valuable findings can be analyzed on an industry-by-industry basis. Ideally, our report will segment the changes in VC and the F500 into different categories (sector, US location, time period). Additionally, we They are keenly interested in finding which (and what kind) of venture-backed businesses have entered the F500 since '80. Doing this analysis will shed some additional light on the primary focus of this project: isolating and comparing trends in Venture Capital and the Fortune 500detailed below.
===Information Technology===
*Semiconductor companies generally exited the F500 in/around 2005
*Communications and Media companies have largely stayed in the F500, but some left in the early 2010's.
===Medical, Health, and Life Sciences===
MHLS companies have generally performed well, but experience less rapid growth than Information Technology firms.
*MHLS firms waited an average of 22 years before reaching the Fortune 500. Compared to the IT figure of 14 years, or the Non-High tech figure of 29.
*
===Non-High Technology===
Non-High Technology firms have been the slowest, but steadiest growing group. While there are few NHT firms, they've become established in Consumer Discretionary fields, primarily.
* 42% of F500 NHT firms that have received VC investment remain in the Fortune 500. Moreover, these 42% average around 20 years in the Fortune 500. This is well above the average

== Moving on: Summer/ Fall 2016==
There are a few avenues down which we can continue researching this topic
* On an industry by industry level, we can look at exactly how venture backed tech/MHLS/Non-high tech companies perform compared to their non-VC peers.
* Chronologically segmenting the Fortune 500 and Venture Capital by macroeconomic/sociopolitical occurrences (eg. in wartime x industry performs well, but when we're in a recession y industry is favored)
