About 7.5% of the Sequoia Capital lifetime FEC bucket landed in 2012: $313,550 of $4,164,355. The cycle cell counts 52 contributions and 10 donors on FEC.gov. Read the number as a two-key filter (SEQUOIA CAPITAL and 2012), not as a Sequoia PAC, a private-equity NAICS rollup, or Sequoia as a corporate treasury.

Key figures

  • FEC.gov: $313,550 for Sequoia Capital donors in 2012.
  • 52 contributions from 10 donors; about $31,355 per donor.
  • 2012 holds 7.5% of $4,164,355; other cycles hold $3,850,805.
  • Self-reported string SEQUOIA CAPITAL is the only employer key used.
  • Correlation of name and year is not a federal-spending trail.

2012 filtered to Sequoia Capital

Apply the Sequoia Capital filter to the 2012 election cycle and the remaining money is $313,550. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 52 contributions and 10 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Sequoia Capital is venture-capital employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 10 unique donors matched the stored string in 2012. Repeat gifts can raise 52 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Sequoia Capital total of $4,164,355 still includes other windows. Citing $4,164,355 as if it were 2012 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2012 hub as if it were Sequoia Capital-only would overstate the year.

7.5% in 2012, 92.5% elsewhere

7.5% of stored Sequoia Capital money is tagged 2012 ($313,550). 92.5% is not ($3,850,805). Both percentages use $4,164,355 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2012 so $4,164,355 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Sequoia Capital storage is $4,164,355. Subtract the 2012 cell and $3,850,805 remains. That remainder is 92.5% of the grouping. 7.5% is the 2012 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.
