Questions
Venture investor rankings: frequently asked questions
Which investors does VCMC count?
Firms named in the funding rounds of venture-backed companies, matched to an investor profile by website. 12,417 have at least one such company; this page counts the 5,308 with 5 or more. The homepage counts every investor name seen in a funding round, matched to a profile or not, so its count is larger.
Which investors back the most valuable private companies?
By the combined VCMC valuation of the companies they backed, Sequoia Capital leads with $3.03T across 589 companies, followed by Coatue and Dragoneer Investment Group. The combined value is the worth of the whole companies, not what each investor owns.
How is the investor ranking calculated?
VCMC adds up its valuation of every private company an investor has backed. Companies without a VCMC valuation are left out, not counted as zero; companies acquired since are left out, and public companies are not on VCMC. How VCMC values companies
Which countries have the most venture investors?
Among investors with 5 or more venture-backed companies, the United States has the most (2,663), followed by the United Kingdom (369) and India (212).
Is the combined value what the investor owns?
No. It adds up VCMC's valuation of every private company the investor has backed that has one, leaving out those since acquired; public companies are not on VCMC. Stakes are almost never disclosed, so it is not what the investor owns.
