If you are interested in aggregating their google page rank you can look at my code here: https://github.com/databigbang/enriching-a-list-of-urls-with... using http://www.schurpf.com/google-pagerank-python/

Also, if you want to aggregate its related twitter, blogs, etc you can also look at https://github.com/srw/discovering-web-resources for a simple multithreaded crawler.

Hope it helps!

Thanks, I will check these out and really appreciate the interest in what I'm doing

>Andreessen Horowitz has an impressive list of exited companies in 3 IPOs (Facebook, Groupon, Zynga) and 3 acquisition from high profile companies: Nicira (acquired by VMWare), Instagram (acquired by Facebook), and Skype (acquired by Microsoft).

Hi Danielle, FYI Fusion-io (under enterprise) has exited via IPO: https://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:FIO

Awesome, I will remove them from the list

This is missing their seed stage investments

That would be a very useful addition.

I love this index series, Danielle! Does this have any link to what's next for refer.ly? :)

This ranking under-states mobile companies quite a bit. I'm not sure the best way to improve it, but I guarantee you that Bump and any TinyCo game has broader reach than App.net or Viki.

I absolutely agree, I am working on this

Use the Play store/App store rankings and download counts as a factor and weigh them higher for mobile-only companies?

Hey dmor, mind updating "Balanced Payments" to just "Balanced" website is balancedpayments.com, but company name is Balanced. thanks!

Fixed, thank you

Thank you

My bad.

Very useful. Can you do other VC's as well?

Great post! Just noticed a typo though - it's 'foursquare' (single word, all lowercase), not 'Four Square'.

Fixed, thanks
