Naming Tech’s Top Investors: Inside The Forbes Midas List 2021

A tech landscape transformed by the pandemic and high-profile IPOs for its beneficiaries means a sea change atop the 20th annual Midas List of the world’s best venture capitalists. Produced in partnership with TrueBridge Capital Partners, the Midas List is the definitive ranking of the top 100 tech investors. At number one for the first time is Sequoia partner Alfred Lin, the former Zappos executive and partner of the late Tony Hsieh, who jumped 31 spots thanks to his firm’s investments in two of 2020’s biggest IPOs – home rental site Airbnb and food delivery service DoorDash. He is one of 14 Midas List members who bet on Airbnb and one of 8 who backed DoorDash, but he’s the only one to serve on the board of directors at both businesses, which went public on consecutive days in December.
