Comments on: In-Q-Tel Portfolio Gadget for the CTO http://ctovision.com/2008/01/in-q-tel-portfolio-gadget-for-the-cto/ News, analysis and context on enterprise technology for the CTO Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bob Gourley http://ctovision.com/2008/01/in-q-tel-portfolio-gadget-for-the-cto/#comment-50 Bob Gourley Sat, 02 Feb 2008 15:55:48 +0000 http://ctovision.com/?p=81#comment-50 Thanks Lewis for the comments. And I very much appreciate the concept for pulling this sort of data from Venture Capital. I have to admit I'm very much a rookie programmer, so I might not be able to throw in the time phased options, but I bet I could pull the right data from multiple VC sites that invest in companies folks like us are interested in and use that result to feed a continuously updated gadget. Cheers! (or should I say Yahoo!). Bob Gourley Thanks Lewis for the comments. And I very much appreciate the concept for pulling this sort of data from Venture Capital.

Makes me think that another thing you could do (with Popfly, Dapper, or Pipes... but best with Popfly!) would be to take the same info from several VCs, acknowledging that not all of them list their full portfolio in a timely manner, and chart out the graph over time as some startups get added to portfolios and others dropped... Useful B.I. for some of us :-) great job! (I find myself using more exclamation marks all of a sudden...) Bob – very nifty and useful gadget.
