It would be interesting to load this dataset to something like BigQuery and take a look at what was hot in startup / tech ecosystem at given point in time. Example, Occurrences of news related to startups based out of Bengaluru, over a period of time etc.
I haven’t come across such a dataset with different metatags like location of startup/company and which series of VC funding etc… But Techmeme clearly skews to the Bay area.
