These SDC requests have the following constraints:
*Venture related deals only(see below)
*Deals from 1/1/1980 to 07/20/2020
*US companies (also targets and issuers)
Issue:
*It appears that Thomson-Reuters have drastically redefined their 'venture related' flag, as about 25% of the data appears missing now: We now have 42,005 portco records, whereas we did have 49,250 in the last pull around 10 months ago...*I tried re-pulling PortCo without the venture-related constraint but with a flag for venture-related and buyout (STD-VC and STD-Buyout), which appear the only two such options now (there used to be many more to choose from).*This gave 68,596 records, of which 42,068 were venture, 26,527 were not venture, 20,208 were buyout, 48,387 were not buyouts, and 2,2256 were both and 8,575 were neither. I noticed that zozi.com was missing from the new pull, and that it had some early stage deals. It is marked as neither venture nor buyout.
