Investors appearing most often

Ranked by number of rounds participated in, not by capital deployed — an accelerator writing 180 small cheques ranks above a fund writing four large ones, which is the right ranking when the question is who to approach.

How to read these numbers

A company usually carries several sector tags, so its rounds count towards each. Sector totals therefore sum to more than the total number of rounds, and two sectors here can describe the same round.

Only rounds with a publicly disclosed amount contribute to totals and medians. Roughly a quarter of rounds carry no amount, and those are counted in the round count but never modelled into a figure.

A sector appears only with at least 100 rounds in the last three years. Below that the quarterly shape is noise, and a chart of noise is worse than no chart.

Work the underlying rounds, not the summary

This page is a fixed slice. In the product the same rounds are filterable by stage, geography and investor activity, and every investor here opens to their full participation history.
