The Midas List, Forbes’ data-driven ranking of the top 100 private tech investors in the world, is back for a 22nd year. Submissions are open through February 14.
Tech IPOs on ice. Unicorn valuations under pressure. The venture capital environment in 2023 is one of uncertainty — and fast-changing track records. But for the industry’s leaders, it’s an opportunity. And on the 22nd annual Midas List, they’ll have the chance to prove it.
Submissions for the 2023 Midas List, the definitive ranking of the world’s top private tech investors, are now open through February 14. Produced in partnership with TrueBridge Capital Partners, the Midas List is a data-driven list that evaluates hundreds of investors across dozens of top firms. Forbes and TrueBridge rank the top 100 VCs worldwide not by social media buzz or popularity, but by their portfolio results: Eligible portfolio companies must have gone public or been acquired for at least $200 million over the past five years, or have at least doubled their private valuation since initial investment to $400 million or more over the same period. Liquid exits count for more than unrealized returns, and the Midas model rewards investors who have made bigger, bolder bets.
