Venture Capitalist donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Two keys: VENTURE CAPITALIST and 2010

The packet’s keys are literal: occupation string VENTURE CAPITALIST, cycle 2010. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $489,294, from 355 contributions and 198 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as a self-reported occupation. Free-text fields let filers write a longer title, a nearby spelling, or an employer instead. Those rows are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets. Neighbors include investor, venture partner, private equity, and VC.

$489,294 is smaller than $16,760,854 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2010 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point. This 2010 midterm cell is a different cycle from later venture-capitalist joins. Private equity is a neighboring string, not a recode of this title.

Venture Capitalist as typed, not a census

After this 2010 cell of $489,294, $16,271,560 of the Venture Capitalist grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 97.1% of $16,760,854. The 2010 page is not empty of other occupations; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2010 total is supplied, so no share of the election is claimed. 2.9% is Venture Capitalist-internal. General partner versus principal versus scout titles is unpublished.

Means on $489,294

198 donors and 355 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 1.8 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$2,471 per donor and $1,378 per line are derived from $489,294. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. General partner versus principal versus scout titles remains unpublished.

2010 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $489,294. The FEC cycle 2010 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2010. The tie is Venture Capitalist in 2010. Only the tie is $489,294. This 2010 midterm cell is a different cycle from later venture-capitalist joins. Private equity is a neighboring string, not a recode of this title.

Form text is not a payroll file

Do not treat 355 receipts as unique workers in the trade named VENTURE CAPITALIST. Do not treat 198 donors as a labor-force estimate. General partner versus principal versus scout titles is unpublished. Venture and private-equity association PAC filings file as committees and are omitted.

This 2010 midterm cell is a different cycle from later venture-capitalist joins. Private equity is a neighboring string, not a recode of this title. Neighbors — investor, venture partner, private equity, and VC — stay on their own occupation-cycle URLs. Mixing them into $489,294 would invent a sector total this packet does not contain.

Keeping $489,294 attached to both keys

Keep both nouns in every citation: Venture Capitalist and 2010. Dropping the year turns $489,294 into $16,760,854. Dropping the occupation turns this cell into the year hub, which this packet does not quantify.

Internal paths: /occupations/venture-capitalist/ for the occupation running total, /election-cycles/2010/ for the year without this title, /occupations/ for neighboring strings, /ties/ for other joins. This 2010 midterm cell is a different cycle from later venture-capitalist joins. Private equity is a neighboring string, not a recode of this title.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation VENTURE CAPITALIST ∩ cycle 2010 = $489,294 itemized individual contributions, 355 receipts, 198 donors, 2.9% of $16,760,854. Neighbors remain investor, venture partner, private equity, and VC. Unpublished split: general partner versus principal versus scout titles. Not recoded into an NVCA directory, a Form ADV census, or a fund LP list. Source remains FEC.gov. This 2010 midterm cell is a different cycle from later venture-capitalist joins. Private equity is a neighboring string, not a recode of this title.
