Overview
This table contains a list of companies matched to the average number of VC backed companies in a given year over the period 1980-2017.

The SDC Platinum datasheet can be found at:
E:\McNair\Projects\Accelerators\Code+Final_Data\ChristyCode\Addresses.txt
Criteria
1) The data covers years ranging from 1980-2017. 2) A company's start year is defined as the year of its first investment, as labeled in the SDC datasheet. 3) A company's end year is defined as 3 years past the year of its last investment, as labeled in the SDC datasheet. 4) Companies are grouped together by city based on the city assigned to them in the SDC datasheet.
