Midas List Ranks Top 100 Global Venture Capitalists in 2025

The 2025 Midas List highlights the top 100 tech investors globally, reflecting a shift driven by soaring valuations of private startups like OpenAI and SpaceX, while maintaining the dominance of established Silicon Valley firms. Over 15 years, firms such as Accel have consistently featured on the list, leveraging early investments in major tech companies and expanding into high-growth sectors like AI and fintech. Alongside these established players, new venture capital approaches emphasizing ethics, inclusion, and long-term impact are gaining prominence, as exemplified by Alex Chompff of Evolution Ventures and the women-led Reign Ventures. Reign Ventures, led by Erica Duignan and Monique Idlett, focuses on early-stage founders at the intersection of culture and technology, prioritizing community and integrity, and has proven successful with top-tier returns. Meanwhile, the rise of startups like South Africa's GoodApp showcases the growing momentum of purpose-driven innovation in emerging markets, highlighting the need for more investment, infrastructure, and supportive ecosystems. Together, these developments illustrate a venture capital landscape evolving to balance traditional successes with new values and global inclusivity.
