Venture Capital political contributions from Pennsylvania

Venture Capital intersected with Pennsylvania

Occupation VENTURE CAPITAL and donor state PA together produce $575,623, 216 contributions, and 16 donors. The occupation nationwide is $16,170,796, 7,964 contributions, and 776 donors. Pennsylvania holds about 3.6% of Venture Capital-coded dollars, about 2.7% of Venture Capital-coded contribution rows, and about 2.1% of Venture Capital-coded donors.

All three shares are small and clustered. Pennsylvania is a thin slice of a large national VC-label bucket rather than a dominant state in these facts. The national occupation hub still mixes every other state. The Pennsylvania hub still mixes Pilot, Registered Nurse, and every other occupation string.

Sixteen Pennsylvania donors and 216 contribution rows produced $575,623 under VENTURE CAPITAL. The occupation side is $16,170,796, 7,964 contributions, and 776 donors. About 3.6% of dollars from about 2.1% of donors is a thin cut of a large occupation. PRIVATE EQUITY is not this string. The 7,964 national rows are few relative to $16,170,796; Pennsylvania’s 216 rows follow that lower-frequency shape rather than a high-row trades pattern.

VENTURE CAPITAL as a filed occupation

VENTURE CAPITAL is an industry phrase used as a job title. PRIVATE EQUITY, INVESTOR, and VENTURE CAPITALIST are other strings. This join does not merge them. The national totals—$16,170,796 from 776 donors and 7,964 contributions—are the labeled set, not a NVCA membership list.

Compared with high-row occupations, Venture Capital has fewer contribution lines relative to dollars: 7,964 contributions against $16,170,796. Pennsylvania’s 216 lines from 16 donors sit inside that lower-row national pattern.

Sixteen Pennsylvania donors

Sixteen Pennsylvania donors produced 216 contributions totaling $575,623. Other Pennsylvania occupations are excluded. Venture Capital receipts from other states fill the remainder of $16,170,796.

PA is the contributor state. It does not prove a Philadelphia or Pittsburgh firm, and it does not prove Pennsylvania federal candidates received the $575,623. Recipient geography is not this filter.

Pennsylvania’s 16 Venture Capital-coded donors and 216 contributions sit inside 776 national donors and 7,964 national contributions. The $575,623 is not Private Equity money.

A thin cut of a $16 million occupation

About 3.6% of Venture Capital dollars and about 2.1% of Venture Capital donors sit in Pennsylvania. More than 96% of the occupation’s dollars remain outside this page. That remainder is not inventoried here by state; the packet supplies only the Pennsylvania intersection and the national occupation totals.

Private Equity is a different occupation. A Connecticut Private Equity join, if published, cannot be stacked with these facts into a “finance” super-total.

Sixteen donors on the $16,170,796 occupation

Pennsylvania’s Venture Capital slice is small on every axis: $575,623 of $16,170,796 (about 3.6%), 216 of 7,964 contributions (about 2.7%), and 16 of 776 donors (about 2.1%). The occupation is large; this state filter is not. Most of the labeled money sits outside Pennsylvania in these facts, without this page listing the other states.

VENTURE CAPITAL is not PRIVATE EQUITY and not INVESTOR. Those pages have other national totals. A Connecticut Private Equity join cannot be stacked with $575,623. The 7,964 national contribution rows are few relative to $16,170,796 compared with high-row occupations; Pennsylvania’s 216 rows follow that lower-frequency shape.

Pilot and Registered Nurse are other Pennsylvania occupation-state ties with other facts. They are not part of this $575,623. Itemized individual contributions only. See Venture Capital donations, Pennsylvania campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

What the join refuses

This page does not say venture capital funds Pennsylvania elections, and it does not equate FEC donations with federal awards. Two FEC columns met. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. See Venture Capital donations, Pennsylvania campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Pennsylvania’s 16 donors remain the full identity count on this VENTURE CAPITAL plus PA filter; the $575,623 is not a statewide finance census.
