Other than what we read in the news, is the information of who invested in what startup public information that can be found somewhere or can these investors be kept private?
I think it would be neat to have a list and map of for example the top 50 SV startups and where their money is coming from.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 8y agoIt would be great to use Wikidata for that. It's already possible to add a list of investors (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1951 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1951) to companies (like Uber: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q780442 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q780442). And then map all these startups using https://query.wikidata.org https://query.wikidata.org (it would be pretty easy to highlight the % of shares by countries / regimes, etc and point out the financial vehicles / intermediaries used for that).
