Deletions are potentially as interesting or more interesting than additions. I think that generally speaking the more scrupulous investors do not hide their failed investments, but I am aware of some firms that delete failed companies from their portfolio page to inflate their 'batting average'.
- ganeumann 12y agoVCdelta author here. It knows deletions of course, but because the scrapers break, or the sites go down or the portfolio companies names change, there are a lot of false positives, so I decided not to publish them. When a site breaks and a portfolio add doesn't get published, that's not a big deal (VCdelta doesn't purport to be complete) but saying something's been deleted when it hasn't been seemed different.
