Founder and Massachusetts as a thin-row occupation-state cell
Occupation FOUNDER and donor state MA produce $2,322,162, 449 contributions, and 61 donors. The occupation hub is $62,143,456, 18,800 contributions, and 1,729 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (3.7%, 2.4%, 3.5%). Massachusetts tracks the national Founder mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Massachusetts Founder is a thin-row cell inside a high-mean national founder book.
Founder is a one-word origin-story title as typed. Nearby strings — CO-FOUNDER, CEO, ENTREPRENEUR, and OWNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,322,162 or $62,143,456. FOUNDER as a national label is dollar-heavy relative to its contribution count.
61 Massachusetts donors produced 449 contributions, about 7.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.9 rows per donor nationally (18,800 contributions from 1,729 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Massachusetts cell are about $38,068, versus about $35,942 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.
FOUNDER as a stored title, not a cap-table recode
FOUNDER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify incorporation, equity ownership, or a current operating role. The national grouping is 1,729 donors, 18,800 contributions, and $62,143,456.
18,800 contributions from 1,729 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Massachusetts’s 449 contributions from 61 donors is the MA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Massachusetts.
Sixty-one Massachusetts Founder donors
61 Massachusetts donors produced 449 contributions totaling $2,322,162. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts professional license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.
The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only FOUNDER. Subtract $2,322,162 from $62,143,456 and $59,821,294 remains coded Founder in every other state combined (18,351 contributions, 1,668 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.
A high-threes dollar slice of a $62 million Founder book
This page does not measure founder output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Founder-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Massachusetts corporations-division extract, not a startup cap table, and not a venture-backed census.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MA is not recipient geography.
Founder titles that stay unmerged
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 $2,322,162, 449 contributions, and 61 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Massachusetts dollars, or only the Founder national total, drops a key.
Founder donations holds the $62,143,456 national occupation total. Massachusetts campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. CO-FOUNDER, CEO, ENTREPRENEUR, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.
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. FOUNDER as a national label is dollar-heavy relative to its contribution count.
