GREYLOCK PARTNERS

Two donors where Greylock meets 2012

Eight itemized contributions and two identities produce the entire $1,081,850. That is four lines per donor if split evenly, and about $135,231 per contribution if the dollars are divided by eight. The join includes only rows whose employer text rolled up to Greylock Partners and whose dates fall in 2012. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.

Across cycles, the grouping totals $3,853,862. The 2012 window is about 28.1% of that running total — a larger share than IDX, KPCB Associates, or Xerox in this slice. A high share with two filers is still a concentration statistic, not a ranking of Sand Hill Road partnerships and not proof that a fund treasury wrote the checks. Other years under this key are not imported here.

Reading the Greylock Partners string

FEC employer fields are free text. Greylock Partners is the rollup as stored. Filers who wrote a longer legal name, a fund-vehicle name, or Greylock without Partners may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them with KPCB Associates would invent a venture total neither packet publishes.

Two donors made eight contributions. That is a thin filing pattern compared with KPCB Associates’ 27 lines from two donors in the same cycle — a comparison of two separate cells, not a league table. The overlay for Greylock Partners 2012 is the row view.

Treat $3,853,862 as the denominator for the 28.1% share, not as assets under management. The smaller all-cycle total is why 2012’s share looks large; the share is arithmetic, not a claim that 2012 was the partnership’s only political year in some broader sense outside this table.

Questions

How much FEC money is tied to Greylock Partners in 2012?

LobbyVault’s FEC.gov aggregates show $1,081,850 in itemized individual contributions for the Greylock Partners grouping in the 2012 cycle, from 8 contributions and 2 donors. The sum is not a fund PAC total.

Why is 2012 such a large share of the Greylock total?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,853,862. $1,081,850 divided by that figure is about 28.1%. The share is large in part because the stored grouping total is smaller than many employer keys. Other cycles are not listed here.

Is this the same as KPCB Associates in 2012?

No. Greylock Partners and KPCB Associates are different employer keys with different donor and contribution counts. Combining them would invent a venture total neither packet publishes as a join.

Where is the overlay for this join?

Open Greylock Partners 2012 for the cycle overlay, Greylock Partners for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
