Would you like to see every venture capitalist firm in the USA on one map? And would you like that map to be interactive so that you could zoom in and out, link to thewebsite of the firm , see how many professionals they employ and read their bios?
Matt Winn thought it would be a brilliant idea and created VCDB (Venture Capital DataBase) which does just that.
So what is VCDB and what does it offer?
Well here is how Matt describes it:
" Simply put, it’s a search tool focused on the venture capital industry.
Enter a city in the “City” field, and VCDB will return all firms with a matching location.
Plug in a college in the “Bio Keyword” field and VCDB will return all professionals with that college name in their bio, sorted by firm.

Matching firms show on a map, and an accompanying listing directory enables access to firms’ websites, email addresses, locations, and investment parameters (assets under management, minimum investment, and maximum investment) as well as professionals’ bios and blogs. Only publicly available info (i.e., from the firms’ websites) is included."
The underlying database contains information on 492 venture capital firms with 863 locations (an average of 1.75 locations per firm), and 6,773 professionals.
