"Venture capital firms don't do a great job on their websites of explaining what they invest in..."

Solution:

  1  Entrepreneurs petition VC firms to all post a CSV file (Excel file saved as .csv) listing what they have invested in, dates, etc.  Is there a single VC firm that does not have this data?  Most likely the data has at some time been put into a spreadsheet or some form of report.  

  2  VC firms locate the spreadsheet, delete any confidential columns (Alt+Space, Alt+H,D,C), save as Comma Separated Values (.csv) and give the file to their web developers.  

  3  Web developers upload the file to web servers.  

  4  Entrepreneurs download CSV file.

Wow, that was complex. My head hurts.
