This project was initially undertaken in the summer of 2017 and resulted in a full report on 2016. See: [[US Startup City Ranking]].
The data was then updated for 2017 and 2018 (Q1 and Q2), which resulted in a ranking spreadsheet and document, but not a full reportin the first rebuild using [[Restoring vcdb3|vcdb3]]. It was then updated again to include the first half of 2019, using [[Vcdb4]]. The third update includes everything up to the end of 2020 and uses [[Vcdb20]].
==Third Rebuild== The third rebuild uses [[Vcdb20]] and covers up until the end of 2020. It combines Geocoding with city information when geocoding is unavailable. ==Second (Complete ) Rebuild== This build used [[Vcdb4]], see [[Vcdb4#Ranking]].
The data was completely rebuilt based on geocoded places (i.e., place names from Tiger) and was restricted to rounds of growth VC from the outset. In this way, it can be joined the [[American Community Survey (ACS) Data]], and it uses real, rather than self-reported cities (lots of people claim to be located in San Francisco while actually being in Alameda or South San Fran, etc.). Likewise, companies on the Emeryville side of the Emeryville-Berkeley border often claim to be in Berkeley.
