Venture Capitalist political contributions from California

Venture Capitalist and California as a majority-share join

Occupation VENTURE CAPITALIST and donor state CA together sum to $10,602,715, 3,431 contributions, and 458 donors. The occupation hub is $16,760,854, 7,026 contributions, and 991 donors. California’s share of dollars is 63.3%; of contributions, 48.8% (3,431 of 7,026); of donors, 46.2% (458 of 991).

458 California donors produced 3,431 contributions totaling $10,602,715. That is 63.3% of the $16,760,854 Venture Capitalist occupation total. The leftover $6,158,139 is Venture Capitalist-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California’s 63.3% of Venture Capitalist-coded dollars ($10,602,715 of $16,760,854) and 46.2% of donors (458 of 991) is a majority-share cell. The leftover $6,158,139 is the same title in every other state. Quote donor count with dollars so a majority share is not mistaken for a single-donor story. This packet has 458 California donors, not one.

VENTURE CAPITALIST as a person-title string

VENTURE CAPITALIST is a person-title string. VENTURE CAPITAL, VC, and INVESTOR are other labels if filers used them. VENTURE CAPITAL as a firm-phrase occupation is a different hub with a different national total. This join does not merge those strings.

Nine hundred ninety-one donors nationwide produced 7,026 contributions totaling $16,760,854. California’s 458 donors are 46.2% of that roster and 63.3% of dollars. A majority dollar share still is not a claim that California ‘dominates venture investing.’ It is a two-field FEC extract.

Four hundred fifty-eight California Venture Capitalist donors

458 California donors produced 3,431 contributions totaling $10,602,715. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only VENTURE CAPITALIST. VENTURE CAPITAL, VC, and INVESTOR are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Venture Capitalist donations without California still holds the remainder of the $16,760,854 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

More than three-fifths of occupation dollars

This page does not measure an NVCA member roster or a California fund-formation census, and it does not claim that Venture Capitalist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

VENTURE CAPITALIST fragments against VENTURE CAPITAL, VC, and INVESTOR. Those strings, if used, never enter the $16,760,854 or the $10,602,715. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Person title versus firm phrase

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Venture Capitalist occupation total and the difference is $6,158,139 still coded Venture Capitalist in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Venture Capitalist donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

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 all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Venture Capitalist national total, drops a key.

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.
