Entrepreneur political contributions from California

Entrepreneur and California on the same receipt line

Occupation ENTREPRENEUR and donor state CA together sum to $11,693,400, 13,775 contributions, and 893 donors. The occupation hub is $39,863,198, 76,659 contributions, and 4,799 donors. California’s share of dollars is 29.3%; of contributions, 18.0% (13,775 of 76,659); of donors, 18.6% (893 of 4,799).

893 California donors produced 13,775 contributions totaling $11,693,400. That is 29.3% of the $39,863,198 Entrepreneur occupation total. The leftover $28,169,798 is Entrepreneur-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California holds 29.3% of Entrepreneur-coded dollars ($11,693,400 of $39,863,198) and 18.6% of Entrepreneur-coded donors (893 of 4,799). The leftover $28,169,798 is the same occupation string in every other state. Quote all three California figures — dollars, rows, donors — together.

ENTREPRENEUR as a self-applied occupation word

ENTREPRENEUR is a self-applied word. FOUNDER, STARTUP, and BUSINESS OWNER, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. The $39,863,198 national total is ENTREPRENEUR only. Four thousand seven hundred ninety-nine donors produced 76,659 contributions — a high-volume label.

California’s 13,775 of 76,659 contribution rows are 18.0% of line volume, while 893 of 4,799 donors are 18.6%. The dollar share (29.3%) sits above the donor share. That is a two-key description, not a ranking of California startup density.

California’s 893 Entrepreneur-coded donors

893 California donors produced 13,775 contributions totaling $11,693,400. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ENTREPRENEUR. FOUNDER, STARTUP, and BUSINESS OWNER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Entrepreneur donations without California still holds the remainder of the $39,863,198 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Nearly thirty percent of occupation dollars

This page does not measure a venture-backed startup census or a California founder directory, and it does not claim that Entrepreneur-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

ENTREPRENEUR fragments against FOUNDER, STARTUP, and BUSINESS OWNER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $39,863,198 or the $11,693,400. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Founder-adjacent strings that remain other hubs

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Entrepreneur occupation total and the difference is $28,169,798 still coded Entrepreneur in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Entrepreneur donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Entrepreneur national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Occupation hub, state hub, and other ties

Entrepreneur donations holds the $39,863,198 national occupation total and the 4,799-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Is Entrepreneur the same FEC bucket as Founder?

No. ENTREPRENEUR and FOUNDER are different occupation strings. This California join is $11,693,400 from 893 donors and 13,775 contributions under ENTREPRENEUR only. Filers who wrote FOUNDER or BUSINESS OWNER sit in other hubs if those strings were used. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov.

What share of Entrepreneur FEC money is from California?

California holds 29.3% of the $39,863,198 occupation total ($11,693,400). California also accounts for 18.0% of contributions (13,775 of 76,659) and 18.6% of donors (893 of 4,799). ENTREPRENEUR is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for California races only?

No. Donor state is California. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $11,693,400 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 13,775 contributions and 893 donors are the ENTREPRENEUR-and-CA overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
