Top Venture Capitalists - 2018.

The 100 top venture capitalists.

Several factors are examined:

An investor’s exits – the frequency/volume, size, and stage of entry

Network centrality – connectivity to other investors. Think of it as akin to Google Pagerank.

Illiquid portfolio company value – frequency, size, and stage of entry in high value (but un-exited) companies. Given relatively less weight as these are paper valuations.

Recency of performance – Our focus was on these metrics since 2008. As a result, we didn’t give a lot of credit to those who made glorious picks in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s.
