The KPCB Associates employer grouping recorded $1,148,800 in itemized individual contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 27 contributions from two donors. KPCB Associates is the matched string, not a claim about every Kleiner Perkins variant on neighboring pages. This page joins that partnership-style key to the 2012 two-year window so a two-person cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a venture-capital ranking. Two partnership-style keys in the same cycle — this one and Greylock Partners — remain separate even when readers group them as venture firms. Leave Greylock Partners on its own 2012 slug when you quote these two donors.
Key figures
- KPCB Associates × 2012 equals $1,148,800 in itemized individual contributions.
- Two donors made 27 contributions in that cell.
- 2012 is about 17.3% of the grouping’s $6,655,664 all-cycle total.
- The key is a self-reported partnership string, not a fund treasury line.
- The page is a two-table join, not a ranking of venture firms.
Two donors at KPCB Associates × 2012
A two-donor cell is closer to a person-level timeline than to a firm census. $1,148,800 is the entire 2012 intersection. Twenty-seven itemized contributions still sit in the count, so the money did not arrive as two single checks. The join includes only rows whose employer text rolled up to KPCB Associates and whose dates fall in 2012. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.
Across cycles, the grouping totals $6,655,664. The 2012 window is about 17.3% of that running total. A high cycle share with two filers is 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 a partnership-style employer string
FEC employer fields are free text. KPCB Associates is the rollup as stored. Filers who wrote a longer Kleiner Perkins legal name, a fund-vehicle name, or initials without Associates may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not contain.
Two donors made 27 contributions. That is 13.5 itemized lines per identity — a filing pattern, not 27 partners. The overlay for KPCB Associates 2012 is the row view. This prose does not name the two identities.
Treat $6,655,664 as the denominator for the 17.3% share, not as assets under management. Neighboring venture-firm keys have their own denominators, including Greylock Partners if you open that join separately.
