==VC Funds in Houston==
 +
 +
[[Joe Reilly (Work Log)]] details the work he did on VC funds in Houston.
 +
 +
The files are in:
 +
E:\McNair\Projects\Houston\VCData.
 +
 +
The key files are:
 +
*VC firms with address, basic sector info.xlsx
 +
*Venture Funds.txt
 +
 +
Cleaned Address file is:
 +
*HoustonVCFundAddresses.txt
 +
 +
This file excludes 3 VCs where we can't find their addresses:
 +
*Crest Capital Ventures  Headquartered somewhere in Houston.  Official address maybe in Delaware
 +
*Resolute Venture Partners  Hdqt in Austin; has an office somewhere in Houston
 +
*S3 Ventures  Hdqt in Austin; has an office somewhere in Houston
 +
 +
These addresses can be plotted using googleplotter.py, which is in:
 +
E:\McNair\Software\CodeBase\New Implement of Enclosing Circle (Constrained K Means, Smallest Circle)
 +
 +
==To Do==
 +
1. Find updated cohort lists for each "green" entity on this table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1twOP16uzHJC_xJzKZza1VEzlSfHtbJm_bJShxfp4DG0/edit#gid=0
 +
 +
2. Turn each cohort list into a text file
 +
 +
3. Run text files through SDC Platinum to determine %VC, %Aquired, %IPO, %Top VC, and VC return rates.

| The leadership team seems to also be its mentor group; they become the board of directors for each company they invest in, seems to be more effective than the TMCx accelerator, because the leaders have more ofa buy-in in each company. For example, Axcelerox was formed by researchers in TMC with assistance from Rice's Dr. Tour. Instead of going through the TMCx, they chose to give up 50% equity and use Fannin's help

Joe Reilly (Work Log) details the work he did on VC funds in Houston.

The files are in: 

E:\McNair\Projects\Houston\VCData.

The key files are:

  • VC firms with address, basic sector info.xlsx

  • Crest Capital Ventures Headquartered somewhere in Houston. Official address maybe in Delaware
  • Resolute Venture Partners Hdqt in Austin; has an office somewhere in Houston

These addresses can be plotted using googleplotter.py, which is in:
