July 2026 – Edition 52

  • A new 2026 ‘transparent, fully data-driven ranking of which VC firms are actually best at what they do’ ranks the top 100 US-based VC firms, based on 230,000 investments by nearly 13,000 venture capitalists over a 30-year window. It finds that 5% of venture capitalists have generated c90% of the industry’s profits. The top two firms in the ranking, by some distance, are Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz followed by Accel, DST Global and Tiger Global.

  • Venture Power law: VC firms as well as investments. The Strebulaev-Jackson Venture Ranking finds that, just as the bulk of returns in a venture portfolio are made by a small fraction of ‘fund returner’ investments, so amongst venture capitalists a small fraction of the firms produces the majority of the returns.

    Back to the Mansion House Accords: In early July Nest announced it will expand its investment in high-growth private companies through the creation of a dedicated venture capital sleeve, managed by Schroders Capital. It is planning to allocate an initial £200m, growing to £1bn by 2030. Nest is one of the 17 signatories to the Mansion House Accords who have pledged to invest 10% of their DC default funds in private assets that boost the UK economy.
  • Burnham Would - Growth in every postcode: : Andy Burnham, MP for Makerfield ‘We will consolidate public and private investment at a place-based level and help all areas establish Good Growth Funds, as we have done here in Greater Manchester…I will back our scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs and creatives and show how Britain will be the Innovation Nation of the next decade.’
  • Record breaking US H1 venture fundraising: A remarkable $372bn was raised across 336 deals in H1 2026, albeit two thirds of the total was raised by just four companies - OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and Prometheus.
  • Europe – Surging and more broadly based H1 fundraising: Europe saw very strong H1 2026 growth in fundraising with $39.3bn raised across 330 deals of $20m+, 80% higher than in H1 2025, 2.2x H1 2024 and 3x H1 2023. In a more diverse fundraising environment AI was 22% of the H1 2026 European total versus 77% of the US H1 total.
  • Defense, Robotics and Space have the fundraising momentum on both sides of the Atlantic.
