How can Ron Conway not be at #1?
- bkudria 17y agoThere's a detailed table of the rankings: http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/future_of_tech_2010/ http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/future_of_t...
- paul 17y agoThey should have included astrological information ;)
- akkartik 17y agoAlso the last paragraph here: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_10/b4169039642419_page_2.htm http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_10/b41690396... Not very compelling, but that's their story and they're sticking with it.
- wheels 17y agoI find that list really dubious -- it's very hard to believe that 97% of Ron Conway's investments have worked out. The only way I can imagine that being true is if there are strings pulled so that there's a fire-sale at the end that's being counted as an exit.
- joshu 17y ago97% are "not dead" I also find this hard to believe. I've invested in ~ 20 companies over the last four years. - Two are insanely good, but no liquidity yet - One appears to be dead - One has been acquired The rest are in various stages of growth.
- wheels 17y agoRight, as Paul pointed out, the numbers for Conway are way low (maybe these are just the SV Angels numbers?), but over the course of Conway's investments in the last 20 years, it's astronomically unlikely that 97% of them are "not dead".
