WileECoyote WileECoyote  Laurene Powell Jobs Ms. Powell Jobs has a net worth estimated at $11.5 billion, according to Bloomberg, most of it in shares of the Walt Disney Company. Mr. Jobs helped found the animation studio Pixar, which Disney acquired in 2006 and paid for in stock. With 131 million shares, worth about $8.7 billion, the Laurene Powell Jobs Trust is Disney’s largest shareholder with a 7.3 percent stake in the company, and she has benefited from the stock having more than doubled since her husband died in October 2011. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/busines...
kevin kevin  @seeker just wondering why you switched TD Ameritrade's name to TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation...any particular reason? I think it's best to go with the name that it is referred to by on its website, in the press, etc, eg tdameritrade.com
lifewinning lifewinning  @kevin ooh, it's like data roulette. Thanks!
kevin kevin  @lifewinning one way to build out the Cooper Union page -- click "match related donors" in the righthand column under expert tools, then cycle through by clicking "verify and match another." that will load in all federal $ data and tell you which politicians they're close to, who is most politically active on the board, etc.

ATeixeira ATeixeira  ATeixeira Hi @seeker and @Kevin! Thanks a lot for the reply. I am currently working on CEO ties for my master thesis, and I found LittleSis quite useful.

Still, I was more interested in assessing current board ties. The inclusion of past directors in this section might have ruined it :/.

Let me ask you one more thing: if i select "board members and executives", these include solely current members?

Thanks a lot anyway! I appreciate it.
kevin kevin  @ATeixeira Hi! the board page includes the board and also top execs (that's why it says "board members and executives"), and also includes past board members. it's built through a combination of scraping of SEC filings and manual edits.
ATeixeira ATeixeira  could someone explain to me how the section "board members and executives" has been built?

Some board sizes are clearly wrong (e.g., McDonalds has 13 members in the board, not 36). Thanks!
kevin kevin  @galbraith seems like this was a false alarm: http://marcellusdrilling.com/2013/02/mdn-...

WileECoyote WileECoyote  Largest Private Equity Firms, 2008 Good article in Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-12/... Of 4,500 firms with $3 trillion in assets, they expect a quarter to be "starved out" over the next five years...
kevin kevin  @Armstrong hey there
kevin kevin  DonorsTrust is apparently used by right-wing donors to scrub their fingerprints from various donations in support of climate change denial and the like. If anyone has interest it would be good to get the grantees from their 2010 990 into LittleSis (by transcribing to a spreadsheet and bulk adding donation relationships): http://207.153.189.83/EINS/522166327/5221...

WileECoyote WileECoyote  The Goldman Sachs Diaspora Should say the list came directly from the NYTimes article Kevin posted!
WileECoyote WileECoyote  The Goldman Sachs Diaspora Created a list compiling the 221 executives who controlled Goldman at the time of the 1999 IPO. So they are now all on the database, but I welcome help in building out all the profiles!
kevin kevin  would be good to add these folks to Goldman's profile: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/05/16/th...
I imagine we have a lot of them.
