As promised, a copy of my Master's thesis, which covers a ton of cool learnings from building #VCWiz w @DormRoomFund and @firstround, and analyzing how founders are interacting with investors when fundraising.

Most interesting learning IMO: with public funding data as the prior, the ranking generated by the closeness centrality (≈ "access") of a founder's node in an email-based graph when fundraising has a correlation of 0.7 with a ranking based on historical data and sane heuristics
In other words: we can quantitatively show that, from the founder's perspective, venture really is all about who you know!
