I love the idea of surveying such data and would love to see the results. But you're going to need a huge set of data because potentially interesting and non-intuitive factors will be several 'layers' deep. The data will show a very strong relationship between the space entered by startups and funding; much of a startup's likely success - and thus VC interest - depends on macro factors (e.g. industry growth, competition). These things are known. Perhaps to get a larger dataset than you're likely to receive here, scraping public databases might be better? Can anyone please suggest such databases (e.g. I don't know how much data you could get from Crunchbase?)?
