I'd like to see a list of his investments that also includes the ones that failed, as well as the amount on each investment. Are there places that track this i

  Pitchbook, it'll cost you a few grand a year though.

    Pitchbook doesn't even come close to figuring out the actual invested amounts and returns across an investor's portfolio. Don't get me wrong; Pitchbook is good and I pay $$$$ for it. But it serves a company-centric intel need, not an investment performance measurement need.

      > not an investment performance measurement need. Can you please expand on this? Genuinely curious as to what the metrics are in this case.

  Yes, you can buy this from Cambridge Associates, and a few other "consultants." But it costs more than you would be willing to pay out of mere curiosity. Generally speaking, the institutional limited partners (LPs; pension funds, endowments, family offices, etc.) that invest in venture and private equity incur pretty significant costs to get third-party information about actual performance by managers (i.e. VCs). From largest to smallest, LPs might generally: subscribe to Cambridge's data and use it in-house with full time staff, or hire a consultant (like Cambridge) to assess and help select their managers, or pay a fund-of-funds a fee (on the order of 1%) to do likewise. The point of all that is: figuring out who is actually making money in VC, and guessing who is likely to continue doing so, is very non-trivial. It can't be done with publicly available, Crunchbase / Angel.co type data, much less a VC's own statements or portfolio listing page.
