Tech Roundup: The World’s Top Venture Capitalists-
世界頂尖創投資本家
四位成功的創投者
Venture capitalists make bets on the future by investing money in tiny start-ups that sometimes sprout into the next Google, Facebook or Snap. But success can often be elusive because many of the start-ups flop.
許多VC把資金投在小的創投公司，期待來日大撈一筆，如明日的谷歌、臉書和Snap。但有時成功常變成幻夢一場，因為許多創投公司失敗。
So which investors have amassed track records that can put them atop the list of venture capitalists?
In collaboration with the research firm CB Insights, The New York Times presents the top 20 venture investors this year. Many of the rankings have moved around from last year, partly because a spate of start-up acquisitions and initial public offerings have raised the performance of various venture capitalists, according to the formula that CB Insights uses to arrive at its conclusions.
One of the venture investors who vaulted into the top 20 list is Kirsten Green at Forerunner Ventures, Katie Benner and Michael de la Merced of The New York Times write.
Last year, Ms. Green’s start-up bets paid off in a big way when two of them — the online razor company Dollar Shave Club and the e-commerce company Jet.com — were bought for $1 billion and $3.3 billion by larger companies. The bonanza of returns from those deals helped put Ms. Green, who focuses on start-ups in retail and e-commerce, into the top 20 for the first time.
專門投資零售商品及網路銷售的投資者-Ms.Green，所投資的刮鬍刀公司以10億美元被大公司收購，另一家網路銷售以33億被收購，其投資大大回收，而首次列名前20名的投資者。
