Table 8 Additional heuristics for VC type prediction.

From: A dataset of venture capitalist types in China (1978–2021): A machine-human hybrid approach

Descriptions of heuristics

− Predict a VC as FVC if any of the following keywords appears in Firm Name: securities, insurance, trust, financial services, mergers and acquisitions, guarantees (证券,保险,信托,金融服务,并购,担保).

− Predict a VC as BVC if any of the following keywords appears in Firm Name: bank (银行).

− For a VC that is predicted as both CVC and FVC, we label it as FVC if any of the following keywords appears in Firm Name: investment, assets, futures, capital, finance, financial leasing (投资,资产,期货,资本,金融,融资租赁).

− For a VC that is predicted as both CVC and IVC, we label it as IVC if any of the following keywords appears in Firm Name: venture capital, investment, consulting, asset management, incubation, innovation (创投,投资,咨询,资产管理,孵化,创新).
