==Literature from David==
Literature to "validate" our sample. I think you probably know the papers I reference below (let me know if you need any of them-some for which I am coauthor you can get from my website).
#VCs are more likely to match with geographically proximate startups (Lerner on corporate governance, Sorenson on geography)
#Startups prefer to match with VCs with domain experience within their startup sector (Morten Sorensen), possibly also prefer to match by stage of VC specialization relative to their own stage of development (not sure which paper if any documents that)
#Startup patents signal VCs (Hsu/Ziedonis in SMJ)
#VCs prefer serial founders, or at least may interact differently with founders based on their prior founding experience (Hsu 2007 in Research Policy)
#If we have access to more individual data: VCs prefer to invest in founders with similar demographic characteristics relative to their own characteristics (Gompers et al within the past few years in JFE, Bengtsson and Hsu in JBV within the last few years).
==Work Done in Late November by Dylan & Ed==
SBIR Data taken from McNair\Projects\SBIR\Data\Aggregate SBIR\SBIR.txt. -Note! This file needed to be opened in excel to be readable, and took a very long time to open due to its large size. SBIR firm names converted to a pivot table to eliminate exact repeat entries, and then exported to a txt file, NSBIR. NSBIR then matched using The Matcher in mode 2 with the following code:
"-file1="NSBIR.txt" -file2="NSBIR.txt" -mode=2"
