The Forbes Midas List, the definitive ranking of the world's top venture capitalists, is accepting submissions for its 24th annual edition. The list, known for its data-driven approach, evaluates investors based on their portfolio performance and exits, rather than hype or online presence.
The definitive ranking of the 100 best tech investors in the world, the Forbes Midas List is now seeking submissions for its 24th annual edition through January 28. Midas List has remained a constant, providing the definitive and data-driven ranking of the world’s top venture investors since its creation more than two decades ago.

Eligible investors must deploy capital out of formally closed funds with external limited partners; personal and corporate investments, while valuable to the ecosystem, are not considered for Midas rankings. The Midas List ranks investors across stages, with its model rewarding bigger and bolder bets. The list evaluates investors on a partner-by-partner basis, with up to two investors able to claim partial credit for a deal. Liquid exits that return real dollars back to limited partners are rewarded above unrealized gains. List-makers will typically have 10 or more eligible deals in their portfolio, or one or two career-defining outsized wins. Eligible portfolio companies must have either gone public or been acquired at a valuation of $200 million or more over the past five years; or, if still private, at least doubled their private valuation since the submitting investor’s initial investment to reach a valuation of $400 million or more. The 2024 edition of the Midas List featured 6 newcomers and 8 investors who reappeared on the rankings after previously dropping off, with Sequoia’s Alfred Lin in the top slot.
