The Top 100 Venture
Capitalists
We started working with The New York
Times in late 2015 to identify and rank
the top 100 venture capital
professionals using the CB Insights
Investor Mosaic algorithm.
It is a purely data-driven / algorithmic
ranking that uses CB Insights data. We'd
gathered this data via our machine
learning technology (dubbed The
Cruncher) as well as via several
thousand direct submissions from firms
and individual professionals using The
Editor.
The Investor Mosaic page walks
through the factors considered in the
algorithm in some detail but at a high-
level, it considers several factors
including:
An investor's exits the
frequency/volume, size, and
stage of entry
Network centrality connectivity
to other investors. Think of it as
akin to Google Pagerank.
Consistency stage, industry
consistency of investments

Illiquid portfolio company value
frequency, size and stage of
entry in high value (but un-exited
companies). Given relatively less
weight as these are paper
valuations
Recency of performance Our
focus was on these metrics since
2008. As a result, we didn't give a
lot of credit to those who made
glorious picks in the 80s, 90s, or
early 2000s. This is a ranking of
today's best VCs not the best
VCs in history.

below in April 2016. It has been updated
since then to include companies that
have raised an equity funding round
since January 2013, and exclude exited
companies like MetaMind, which was
recently acquired by Salesforce.
A few investment highlights:

Increasingly crowded imaging &
diagnostics: 17 out of the 22
companies under imagining &
diagnostics raised their first
equity funding round since
January 2015 (this includes
1st Seed or Series A rounds, as
well as a first round raised by
stealth startup Imagen
Technologies). In 2014, Butterfly
Networks raised a $100M Series
C, backed by Aeris Capital and
Stanford University. This was the
third-largest equity round to AI in
healthcare companies, after
China-based iCarbonX's $154M
mega-round and two $100M+
raises by oncology-
focused Flatiron Health.
VCs invest in drug
discovery: Startups are using

To Grab Artificial Intelligence
Startups
Nearly 140 private companies working
to advance artificial intelligence
technologies have been acquired since
2011, with over 40 acquisitions taking
place in 2016 alone. Corporate giants
like Google, IBM, Yahoo, Intel, Apple and
Salesforce, are competing in the race to

a Siri-like AI assistant, and GE making 2
AI acquisitions in November.
Google has been the most prominent
global player, with 11 acquisitions in the
category under its belt.
In 2013, the corporate giant picked up
deep learning and neural network
startup DNNresearch from the
computer science department at the
University of Toronto. This acquisition
reportedly helped Google make major
upgrades to its image search feature. In
2014 Google acquired British
company DeepMind Technologies for
some $600M (Google
DeepMind's program recently beat a
human world champion in the board
game "Go"). This year, it acquired visual
search startup Moodstock, and bot
platform Api.ai.
Intel and Apple are tied for second
place. The former acquired 3 startups
this year alone: Itseez, Nervana
Systems, and Movidius, while Apple
acquired Turi and Tuplejump recently.

The Industrial IoT: 56 Startups
Transforming Factory Floors,
Oil Fields, And Supply Chains
With connected devices
like Nest and Sonos breaking into the
mainstream, the IoT has become one of
the most-discussed tech trends of the
last twenty years. And the hype is well
founded: IoT startups have attracted
a cumulative $7.4B in venture
investment over the past 6 years,
according to our data.
But the IoT extends well beyond the
home and consumer-level
gadgets. Asset-heavy industries like
So far, the IIoT wave transforming heavy asset industries has been
led by the old guard of tech giants such as GE, IBM, and Cisco.
JANUARY 11, 2016

manufacturing, logistics, mining, oil,
utilities and agriculture have also begun
to apply IoT systems to improve
efficiency and results. With machines
and specialized sensors collecting data
at every step of production, the potential
gains from the Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) are enormous.
So far, the IIoT wave has been led by the
old guard of industrial tech companies
such as GE, IBM, and Cisco, who
envision the IIoT as a core component
of their future businesses. GE, in
particular, pioneered the term "Industrial
Internet" when announcing its $1.5B
R&D commitment back in 2012.
But more and more startups are
attacking the needs of heavy industry by
developing sensors, cloud platforms,
networking infrastructure, as well as
machine learning software to extract
insights from the deluge of data.
We mapped the startup landscape into
9 major categories:
Manufacturing & Supply Chain
These companies are using connected
objects to enhance data collection in
manufacturing and in the supply chain.
These companies include CargoSense's
connected black boxes for detecting the
movement of containers as they are
shipped. Also included here are
manufacturing robots like Momentum
Machines and Rethink Robotics, along
with warehouse robots like RoboCV.
Extraction & Heavy Industry
This section encompasses sensor
platforms designed for use in hard-hat
environments like the oil and gas,
mining, and construction industries.
Some startups are focused on specific
verticals. Groundsensing (locating
wells), Tachyus (extracting oil and gas),
and Aptomar (spill safety) make sensor
networks for oil and gas production.
And Skycatch employs UAVs to capture
data for the rendering of construction
sites in 3D.
Network Infrastructure & Sensor
Developers
Companies here are are building out the
networks and developing the physical
sensors that will undergird the IIoT as a
whole. Samsara and DorsaVi develop
industrial-grade sensors for a variety of
applications including fleet
management, machines, energy, and
industrial wearables. Others
like SigFox have built out the wireless
networking for the IIoT.
Utilities & Smart Grid
Startups in this area develop tech that
enables more efficient distribution of
electricity, gas and water, and often
10
market to utility
companies. Trilliant, Tendril,
and BluePillar are smart-meter enabled
solutions for utilities and large
enterprises to manage usage and
reporting.
Cloud Platforms
Cloud vendors here commonly market
themselves as platforms-as-a-service
(PaaS) companies that allow other IoT
and IIoT companies to manage and
maintain their device
networks. Meshify and TempoIQ are
examples here.
Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning
SaaS
Big data software-as-a-service
companies, or machine learning
technology, allows companies to find
insights and derive predictive analytics
such as when machines will need
maintenance.
Transportation & Fleet
Startups in this category are changing
the landscape for connected vehicle
fleets. Telogis and Greenroad, for
example, develop fleet-tracking
platforms using telematics data from
large trucks. Others like Metromile are
changing fleet insurance by using
connected hardware to prorate
insurance by mileage, a technology that
is already being deployed to insure Uber
drivers.
IIoT Cybersecurity
This category includes startups that are
focusing on the large task of securing
connected industrial IoT applications
from cyberattack. The IIoT has already
suffered serious hacks; a German steel
mill suffered "massive damages" after
hackers accessed a blast furnace that
workers could not properly shut
down. Bastille is one of several startups
in the space.

The Store Of The Future:
133 Startups Transforming
Brick-And-Mortar Retail In
One Infographic
Brick-and-mortar retail is a high-stakes
business. And, while it might seem as if
e-commerce has taken over, Americans
still do over 90% of our shopping in
physical stores. In fact, one of the latest
trends in retail is the launch of physical
stores by online e-commerce
companies, including Amazon, Warby
Parker, and Birchbox.
To help retailers bridge the gap between
digital and physical
Startups are outfitting retailers with augmented reality, beacons,
wearables, and more to bridge the gap between digital and
physical shopping.

commerce, and keep up with e-
commerce competitors, dozens of
startups have developed in-store
technology ranging from shelf-stocking
robots, to augmented reality displays, to
Wi-Fi-based beacons that collect data
on shopper behavior. Many companies
focus on optimizing existing store
operations with the injection of cloud-
based software and mobile apps,
helping retailers manage things like
employee scheduling, mobile payments,
coupons, and shelf stocking. Others
have paved entirely new paths for data
collection and shopper engagement.
Many even leverage frontier
technologies such as artificial
intelligence, augmented/virtual reality,
and Internet of Things connectivity.
This infographic is not exhaustive of
companies in the category. We included
private, active companies only.
Category breakdown:
Augmented/Virtual Reality Tools -
Startups that leverage augmented or
virtual reality to aid retailers in layout of
stores and the design of promotional
displays. InContext Solutions, which has
worked with clients like Walmart, Nestle,
and Kellogg's, lets brands visualize
marketing concepts and test new
designs on shoppers in virtual reality to
gauge their efficacy before
launch. Augment aims to help brands,
such as General Mills, L'Oreal, and
Coca-Cola, pitch their vending
machines, kiosks, or merchandise
displays to retailers by showing how
they would look in augmented/virtual
reality.
Beacon-Based Analytics and Marketing
- Companies that provide hardware and
software to help stores track visitors.
Many focus on data collection for
internal analytics, such as merchandise
tracking, adjusting staffing levels,
monitoring promotions, etc. Euclid
Analytics, for example, tracks visitors to
monitor the impact of promotions on
driving store visits and to better
understand when people visit stores
and specific aisles. Others focus on
proximity marketing to shoppers while
in or near stores. For
example, Estimote provides small,
colorful beacons that send push
notifications to users' phones about
products or promotions when it senses
someone near. Kimetric's sensors aim
to visually identify shoppers' age,
gender, eye focus, and clothing style to
present them with personalized
marketing. This category includes the
most well-funded company in the
graphic: RetailNext, with $189M in
funding, offers traffic sensors, customer
route mapping, mobile marketing, and
more.
Connected Shopping Carts - Startups
that outfit shopping carts with digital
features. For
13
example, Gatekeeper and Carttronics ou
tfit shopping carts with RFID tags to
track the carts and prevent theft.
Customer Loyalty - Reward and loyalty
platforms for
retailers. Thirdshelf provides white-label
loyalty program software,
while Dealyze installs tablets by the
cash register to encourage loyalty
program signup and let customers track
their rewards. LevelUp lets customers
pay by phone and earn rewards.
Digital In-Store Assistants - Fellow
Robots and Simbe Robotics launched
robots that can act as store associates,
checking store shelves and guiding
customers throughout the store. Fellow
Robots recently launched its Navii robot
in 11 Lowe's stores in California, while
Simbe has tested its Tally robot in
Target. Satisfi, on the other hand,
provides a mobile app leveraging
artificial intelligence to help shoppers
in-store; it recently piloted its app in
conjunction with IBM Watson in Macy's.
Digital Signage - Companies that
provide stores with connected, digital
signs to advertise products inside
stores, provide shoppers with product
information, or let stores adjust product
pricing in real-time. For example, Blue
Bite recently raised its $2.5M in funding
to create product tags enriched with QR
codes and NFC technology.
Employee Tools - A variety of
messaging tools and planning
platforms for retail store staff. Branch,
for example, which graduated from
Techstars in June, offers internal
messaging networks for retail
employees. Salesfloor provides
software that helps associates maintain
consistent relationships with customers
across store and online channels.
Guest Wi-Fi - Startups that enable free
in-store Wi-Fi for retailers. The
companies generally use the Wi-Fi to
track shoppers and provide stores with
customer analytics. Zenreach, for
example, has raised $50M from
investors including First Round Capital,
Bain Capital Ventures, and 8VC.
Indoor mapping - These startups take
advantage of connected devices to
create detailed indoor maps of stores
and malls. Retailers leverage the apps
to help users find the right items and
direct them to promotions.
In-Store Point-of-Sale Financing
- Startups that let shoppers instantly
apply for and receive loans or
installment plans while shopping in-
store. Blispay, with $14M in funding
from investors including NEA, lets users
apply for financing on their phones
while in-store.
14
Interactive Aisle Displays - Startups
producing interactive digital displays
and kiosks often in tablet form to
attract shoppers within store
aisles. Aila, for example, mounts iPads
in aisles to offer price scanning, product
information, etc.,
while Ksubaka provides "playSpot"
kiosks with gamification features on
tablets advertising products. Ksubaka
works with brands such as Coca-Cola,
Nescafe, Dove, Colgate, and Kellogg's in
stores throughout Asia.
Inventory Management - Startups that
help stores track inventory and optimize
merchandising, generally using cloud-
based software. Some, such
as Celect and Blue Yonder, also use
artificial intelligence to provide
predictive merchandising analytics.
Music Management - Startups that help
stores manage their in-store music
playlists.
Omnichannel Analytics - Platforms
integrating in-store and e-commerce
analytics for a more seamless shopper
experience. For
example, ShoppinPal helps retailers
digitize their store and payment
management and integrate inventory
across brick-and-mortar and e-
commerce channels. OneView
Commerce aims to better engage multi-
channel shoppers.
Payment Platforms - Software that
handles payments for consumers at
retailers. Since payment platforms is a
massive category, we restricted
inclusion to companies that only
process payments and focus on retail
stores.
Point-of-Sale Reviews and Marketing
- Startups that provide digital add-ons to
the checkout process for customers in-
stores. TruRating and Wyzerr solicit
satisfaction ratings from shoppers at
the checkout
counter. MessageWrap (Handstand
Innovations) adds visual advertising to
checkout conveyor belts at stores like
Target and
Safeway. FlexReceipts and Ecrebo can
add personalized offers and incentives
to shoppers' receipts, aiming to attract
return visits.
Smart dressing rooms - Oak
Labs created an interactive,
touchscreen mirror that lets shoppers
request new items, adjust fitting room
lighting, and see outfit
recommendations. The mirror can
sense which products the shopper
brought into the room using RFID
technology, and then present related
products, save the items to shoppers'
online accounts, or display related
items. Oak has worked with Polo Ralph
Lauren.
15
Store Management Software - Broad
platforms that help retailers manage
merchandise, process payments,
manage employees, etc., allowing for
the handling of many of the operations
of the store from one application. These
startups include some of the most well-
funded in the category,
including Revel with $129M, Lightspeed
POS with $126M, and Shopkeep
POS with $97M.
Visual Shelf Monitoring - Startups that
help consumer packaged goods brands
monitor the presentation of their
merchandise on store shelves and track
the results of in-store promotions and
visual displays. Some rely on in-store
cameras and artificial intelligence
features, while others leverage
crowdsourced intelligence from
shoppers and store associates.

The Most Active VCs In The
Internet Of Things And
Their Investments In One
Infographic
The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is
on track to see nearly $3.7B in funding
this year as connectivity and software
are injected into sensor-laden objects
and appliances. An increasing
proportion of these dollars are being
allocated to startups working
specifically on the industrial IoT.
Related categories like 3D printing are
also starting to see a resurgence as a
host of corporate players like

telecoms become involved in the
industry.
Which firms are the most active players
in the IoT? We used CB Insights data to
rank VCs by their unique IoT
investments over the past 5 years.
Interestingly, 5 of the top 12 IoT
investors are corporate venture arms.
When we performed this analysis at the
end of 2015, only 3 of the top investors
were CVCs.
Intel Capital still tops the list as the
most active investor in IoT startups,
with more than 40 unique IoT
companies since 2012. GE Ventures
wasn't far behind (and is new to the
ranking of top IoT investors) with recent
investments in industrial-focused IoT
startups like industrial analytics
developer Sight Machine, fog computing
platform Foghorn Systems, and
commercial 3D printing startup Desktop
Metal.
Following Andreessen Horowitz, the
fourth-most active IoT investor is
another CVC, Qualcomm Ventures. As
we've noted in our prior investor
roundups, Intel and Qualcomm are
involved in designing and/or
manufacturing ever-smaller chips to
power mobile devices, and IoT likely
offers them strategic value.

Disrupting The Auto
Industry: The Startups That
Are Unbundling The Car
As startups focused on autonomous
driving grab headlines, corporations are
jockeying for a competitive edge in auto
tech through startup acquisitions and
investments, as well as partnerships
and internal initiatives.
As we've previously discussed in
analyses of startups unbundling Procter
& Gamble, unbundling the bank, or
even unbundling PetSmart, emerging
companies often focus on tackling
specific categories or verticals, rather
While self-driving tech has received the lion's share of media
attention, a host of less-heralded startups are targeting specific
pieces of automotive infrastructure or components.
MAY 26, 2016
26
than attacking incumbents broadly
(hence the term "unbundling").
Using CB Insights data, we identified a
host of private startups that are working
not only in self-driving tech and
automated driver assistance but also to
improve different services and products
associated with the auto industry.
These range from high-profile
autonomous driving startups
like comma.ai, backed by Andreessen
Horowitz, to companies focused on
enhancing more traditional elements,
like auto repair and tire technology.
Tech giants like Apple and major
automakers like GM are also scrambling
to secure ties to adjacent verticals,
most notably the ride-hailing industry,
but ride-hailing and car-sharing are not
included in the infographic below.
In March, General Motors put its stake
in the ground in the realm of driving
tech startups with its acquisition
of Cruise Automation. Cruise had raised
just $18.8M, but GM valued the
company at over $1B.
Media and investor interest in startups
working on self-driving or ADAS
(advanced driver assistance systems)
tech has since exploded, with
companies
like comma.ai, Nauto, nuTonomy, and
others garnering headlines and raising
funding.
While self-driving tech which is
included in the infographic above
receives the lion's share of media
attention, a host of less-heralded
startups are targeting specific pieces of
automotive infrastructure or
components. For example, companies
including Quanergy, LeddarTech,
and TriLumina are seeking to capitalize
on the self-driving revolution by
dramatically lowering the cost of
expensive LiDAR sensors.
Startups such as Veniam and Savari are
developing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and
vehicle-to-anything (V2X)
communications, another autonomous-
adjacent technology field. With
increasing automotive connectivity
seemingly inevitable, vehicle
cybersecurity has also begun to emerge
as a focus, with newer players
like Karamba Security joining others
such as Argus Cyber Security.
