“Venture capitalists” are the guys and gals who work at “venture capital firms” so this is essentially just identifying the star employees. The first thing we did was take a look at the top 100 venture capitalists out there according to the bright minds over at CB Insights. What’s the popular opinion among VCs about them.How much assets under management (AUM) they have.We wanted to use some meaningful measures such as: We looked around awhile for a top-10 VC list and then decided that the only way forward was to build one ourselves. Why 10? Because it’s easy enough for our writers to get accustomed to 10 names, but it’s not realistic to have them memorize the VC 100. When looking at which VCs our writers should be paying special attention to, we wanted to come up with a list of the top-10 venture capital firms out there. You know how much of those financial details a startup would give us if we asked? Eff all. These VCs would laugh at any founder who doesn’t show them every single detail about the startup they plan to put their investors’ money in. If a high-profile venture capital (VC) firm invests in a startup, you can bet your azz they grilled that founder and vetted them far beyond what we’re capable of doing from our stiff-backed office chairs. The most important of these 3 metrics is the first one. How can we possibly determine which of these 1,500 companies will succeed? The three metrics we look at first are: Some estimates put the number of AI startups at well over 1,500. Take artificial intelligence (AI) for example. The fact remains though that the majority of exciting emerging technology companies today are startups. Sure, it helps to know some of the terminology like what the “ efficient market hypothesis” is but when all is said and done, we’re here because we want to identify the most exciting emerging technologies out there that have a high likelihood of commercial success and then figure out how we can invest in them ourselves, whether through buying pre-IPO shares or by investing in the few exciting publicly traded companies out there like Illumina (Genomics) or Nvidia (AI/VR). An expert knowledge of finance isn’t a prerequisite to writing good content about investing.
