Ask HN: Source for data on VC firms? (For a university project, not my company)
1 point by skram on Oct 6, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I am trying to find some straight forward (and not-so-straight-forward) quantitative and qualitative data points on venture capital firms and thought someone on here might know a source or two for this information (other than the firms' website as my experience so far is that a lot of the information isn't available).

Data points I'm looking for:

- Fund size

- Avg # of investments made per year

- Types and sizes of companies invested in

- Major factors used to evaluate potential investments

- Methodologies used to value firms

- Structure, length, and detail of proposals required of entrepreneurs who are seeking financing

- The typical types of financing provided (some firms do VC, loans, partnerships, etc.)

- The percentage of firms considered who get financing

I completely understand a lot of this information is potentially a source of competitive advantage but I want to get as much as possible.

Thanks in advance for your help!




So far https://www.pwcmoneytree.com/MTPublic/ns/index.jsp is useful but definitely lacking specific past data as well as general information on firms
