Abstract
The Hubs Research Project is a full-length academic paper analyzing the effectiveness of "hubs", a component of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, in the advancement and growth of entrepreneurial success in a metropolitan area.
This research will primarily be focused on large and mid-sized Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), as that is where the greater majority of Venture Capital funding is located.
Data
Primary Data Set
The Hubs data set, from SDC Platinum, has been constructed in the server:
Data files are in 128.42.44.181/bulk/Hubs All files are in 128.42.44.182/bulk/Projects/Hubs psql Hubs
The data set includes all United States Venture Capital transactions (moneytree) from the twenty-five year period of 1990 through 2015. Data has been aggregated at the portfolio company, fund, and round level. It will be analyzed at the combined MSA level. We will be looking at in terms of number of companies funded in number of funds active, and flow of investment in a given MSA.
