What VENTURE CAPITAL donors give in federal races

Firm noun, concentrated dollars

$16,170,796 is the occupation-level dollar total. 7,964 is the itemization count. 776 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $2,030. Mean dollars per donor record are about $20,839. Repeat giving is about 10 itemizations per donor record.

776 donor records is a smaller pool than VENTURE CAPITALIST in this harvest. The per-donor mean of about $20,839 is an arithmetic result on that compact set, not a typical household gift.

The packet does not name funds, check sizes as a distribution, or GP versus LP status. It only supplies the three VENTURE CAPITAL facts.

VENTURE CAPITAL is not VENTURE CAPITALIST

VENTURE CAPITALIST is the neighboring person-title key. This page cites only VENTURE CAPITAL: $16,170,796, 7,964 contributions, and 776 donors. INVESTOR and PARTNER stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized those words here.

Best-efforts collection records the donor’s word. Someone who listed a fund name, the industry noun, or a shorthand for VC work may all land here if the extract stored VENTURE CAPITAL. The FEC does not recode that noun into a person title.

What the dollars do not measure

$16,170,796 is not committed capital, dry powder, or a venture-industry PAC total. Industry pages group employers. Occupation VENTURE CAPITAL will not equal a securities or investment industry page dollar for dollar.

Party is not stored in the occupation column. Open the VENTURE CAPITAL occupation page for recipient rows. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $16.2 million.

Occupation versus industry for fund nouns

A donor who listed VENTURE CAPITAL on some gifts and VENTURE CAPITALIST on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Adding those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Use the occupations index to see neighboring investor titles as separate keys. Use industry pages for employer-side cuts.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (venture capital partner, venture capital investor) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to VENTURE CAPITAL. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

776 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault from FEC bulk data.

Industry pages should not be added to $16,170,796. The firm noun is not an AUM census. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals VENTURE CAPITAL, dollars equal $16,170,796, contributions equal 7,964, donors equal 776. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Compact millions ($16.2 million) are the same headline amount as $16,170,796, rounded to one decimal place. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.

Keep VENTURE CAPITAL on its own line as a firm noun used as occupation text. 776 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Quote occupation equals VENTURE CAPITAL, then $16,170,796, 7,964 contributions, and 776 donors. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring investor titles. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. Mean dollars per donor record of about $20,839 are an arithmetic mean, not committed capital.

Firm-noun VENTURE CAPITAL is 776 donor records, 7,964 itemizations, and $16,170,796. Person-title VENTURE CAPITALIST is a different page. Mean dollars per donor record of about $20,839 are not fund AUM. Do not add the two keys. Cite the three firm-noun facts. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut.

Fund AUM is not in the packet. 776 donor records is not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Restate the citation as occupation equals VENTURE CAPITAL, dollars equal $16,170,796, contributions equal 7,964, donors equal 776.
