Venture Capital money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Venture Capital as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation VENTURE CAPITAL and the 2010 election cycle. The intersection is $356,444 ($356,444), 253 contributions, and 124 donors. 2.2% of Venture Capital occupation dollars ($16,170,796) fall in 2010. 2010 concentrates 253 receipts into 124 donor keys against a sixteen-million occupation total, a thin-donor industry stamp rather than a named-fund census.

Venture Capital is a two-word industry-or-desk stamp as typed, not a GP-seat recode. Nearby strings — PRIVATE EQUITY, VENTURE CAPITALIST, INVESTOR, and VC — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $356,444 or $16,170,796. Venture Capitalist and Private Equity remain other keys; this page does not merge them. The FEC file does not verify a GP seat, an SEC private-fund registration, or a named fund.

The VENTURE CAPITAL string across cycles

On the occupation side, $16,170,796 ($16.2 million) is the Venture Capital total across cycles. The 2010 cell is 2.2% of that roll; the remaining $15,814,352 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Venture Capital is not a 13F holdings file and not a named-firm partnership census. Venture Capital is not a Preqin AUM ranking, an NVCA member list, or a Form ADV extract.

Open Venture Capital donations for the $16,170,796 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2010 cell, 253 itemized contributions map to 124 donors. That is about 2.0 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,409; dollars per donor average about $2,875. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2010 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2010 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Venture Capital row. 124 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2010, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $356,444.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $356,444 attached to 2010 and $16,170,796 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2010 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($15,814,352) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $356,444 with both nouns: Venture Capital and 2010.

What a Venture Capital cycle join cannot claim

Matching Venture Capital with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Venture Capital donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a Preqin AUM ranking, an NVCA member list, or a Form ADV extract.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $356,444. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked VC hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Venture Capital donations holds the $16,170,796 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Venture Capital. All occupations places VENTURE CAPITAL beside other titles without merging sibling strings (PRIVATE EQUITY, VENTURE CAPITALIST, INVESTOR, and VC). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $356,444 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Venture Capital dollars ($16,170,796). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $356,444, 253 contributions, 124 donors, 2.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $356,444; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $16,170,796. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Venture Capital-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Venture Capital grouping’s 2010 cell is $356,444 in itemized individual contributions, from 253 contributions and 124 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $16,170,796 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Venture Capital mean partners at VC firms?

The stored string is VENTURE CAPITAL. Some filers use it as a job title and some as an industry description. Venture Capitalist and Private Equity are other keys. This page does not confirm a GP seat, a named fund, or a seed-versus-growth split.

What share of Venture Capital FEC money fell in 2010?

About 2.2%. $356,444 divided by $16,170,796 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $15,814,352 on the occupation hub. See the Venture Capital occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Venture Capital 2010 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $356,444 is itemized receipts tagged VENTURE CAPITAL in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
