Venture Capital political contributions from Connecticut

Venture Capital and Connecticut as a thin dollar join

Occupation VENTURE CAPITAL and donor state CT produce $422,549, 269 contributions, and 32 donors. The occupation hub is $16,170,796, 7,964 contributions, and 776 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.6%, 3.4%, 4.1%). Connecticut tracks the national Venture Capital mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Connecticut Venture Capital is a small-dollar slice of a high-dollar occupation book.

Venture Capital is a desk phrase as typed, not a person-title recode into Venture Capitalist. Nearby strings — VENTURE CAPITALIST, VC, PRIVATE EQUITY, and INVESTOR — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $422,549 or $16,170,796. VENTURE CAPITALIST is a different stored string; do not add those dollars to this Connecticut cell.

Thirty-two Connecticut donors produced 269 contributions, about 8.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.3 rows per donor nationally (7,964 contributions from 776 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Connecticut cell are about $13,205, versus about $20,839 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

VENTURE CAPITAL as a desk phrase, not a person title

VENTURE CAPITAL is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Connecticut investment-adviser registration or a named fund seat. The national grouping is 776 donors, 7,964 contributions, and $16,170,796.

Seven thousand Nine hundred Sixty-four contributions from 776 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Connecticut’s 269 contributions from 32 donors is the CT-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 Connecticut.

Thirty-two Connecticut donors on the state key

Thirty-two Connecticut donors produced 269 contributions totaling $422,549. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut professional license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only VENTURE CAPITAL. Subtract $422,549 from $16,170,796 and $15,748,247 remains coded Venture Capital in every other state combined (7,695 contributions, 744 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A small state cell beside a $16 million occupation book

This page does not measure venture capital output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Venture Capital-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an SEC Form ADV roster, not a Connecticut fund census, and not an AUM ranking.

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 CT is not recipient geography.

Fund labels that must 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 $422,549, 269 contributions, and 32 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the Venture Capital national total, drops a key.

Venture Capital donations holds the $16,170,796 national occupation total. Connecticut 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. VENTURE CAPITALIST, VC, PRIVATE EQUITY, 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. VENTURE CAPITALIST is a different stored string; do not add those dollars to this Connecticut cell.
