Sequoia is still #1 — but the list looks very different from the US one.
We rank investors by the number of unicorns worldwide they backed before the company reached unicorn status.
The top of the list:
Sequoia Capital — 191
Accel — 167
Andreessen Horowitz — 153
Tiger Global — 152
Goldman Sachs — 148
Kleiner Perkins — 141
SV Angel — 136
Y Combinator — 132
Insight Partners — 122
Bessemer Venture Partners — 117
The most interesting part of the global list is who appears at all.
Temasek, Tencent, SoftBank Investment Advisers, Hillhouse Investment, IDG Capital, Qiming Venture Partners, DST Global, Samsung Electronics — none of these names show up in our US ranking. A whole tier of investors only becomes visible once you step outside the US.
That said, the strongest US investors hold their ground. Sequoia, Y Combinator, Kleiner Perkins, and Bessemer all stay in the top 10 on both lists.
A note on methodology: counts include only pre-unicorn investments in companies that went on to become unicorns, and only investments that are publicly reported. The numbers are conservative for every firm on the list. If you believe a count should be corrected, please reach out.
