Abstract:
We propose a novel similarity-based clustering approach to venture capital investors that takes as input the bipartite graph of funding interactions between investors and startups and returns clusterings of investors built upon 5 characteristic dimensions. We first validate that investors are clustered in a meaningful manner and present methods of visualizing cluster characteristics. We further analyze the temporal dynamics at the cluster level and observe a meaningful second-order evolution of the sectoral investment trends. Finally, and surprisingly, we report that clusters appear stable even when running the clustering algorithm with all but one of the 5 characteristic dimensions, for instance observing geography-focused clusters without taking into account the geographical dimension or sector-focused clusters without taking into account the sectoral dimension, suggesting the presence of significant underlying complex investment patterns.

Cluster Sampling Method
To choose a cluster sample, divide the population into clusters (groups) and then randomly select some of the clusters. All the members from these clusters are in the cluster sample. For example, if you randomly sample four departments from your...
