The 2024 ranking proves that Silicon Valley no longer has a monopoly on alpha. The list features a record number of investors from Europe, Israel, and China (despite tensions). It highlights that top-performing VCs are increasingly 'Thematic Globalists'—investing in a specific vertical (e.g., Crypto, BioTech) regardless of geography.

Talent is distributed; opportunity is following. This archive validates the strategy of building global companies from Day 1. It suggests that founders should target 'Midas Investors' who have a track record of cross-border success, as they are less likely to enforce 'Geo-Constraints' (e.g., asking you to move to SF).
