From Andreessen Horowitz to Felicis Ventures, venture firms reveal a web of co-investment relationships through their syndicate patterns including which firms are closer than others (Spark Capital & Union Square Ventures, for example) and which firms count overlapping investment strategies or geographic focus areas. More importantly, investment syndicates highlight whose networks are truly stronger as better networked VCs have better fund performance.
So given the importance of networks in VC performance, we wanted to highlight the top investment syndicate partners in 2013 of every venture capital firm who invested in 20 or more unique private tech companies last year. We start with a look at the most active tech venture capital firms of 2013 (there are 59 firms but some have the same rank based on activity). Probably not surprising to see a host of stage-agnostic mega venture funds among the top 10 most active in tech VC including Accel, New Enterprise Associates and Sequoia.
