We are proud to present Venture Capital Journal’s 40 Rising Stars under the age of 40. The list, now in its fifth year, celebrates some of venture capital’s brightest talent.
These top performers come from not only traditional venture funds, but also LPs such as the Korea Investment Corporation, corporate VCs like Shell Ventures and Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, accelerators like High Impact Innovators, and law firms such as Proskauer Rose and Goodwin Procter.
As we saw last year, California’s geographical dominance in the venture space continues to ebb, with almost 60 percent of US finalists based outside of the Golden State. However, with fewer nominations for executives outside of North America, the US remains dominant.
As ever, the editorial team had a tough time settling on these 40 Rising Stars, with so much young talent being attracted to the asset class. And amid the macro trials and tribulations we face, the inspiring stories of our fifth class of Rising Stars can’t help but leave one feeling hopeful for the industry’s future.
