When Fred Wilson started blogging every day and gaining notoriety, a number of other VCs began blogging. But over time, many of those VC blogs became zombies. But today, there is a bit of a renaissance for VC blogging. And since our team follows these closely, we wanted to share some of the best ones with you.
Today, we’re introducing The Periodic Table of Venture Capital Blogs – a resource for entrepreneurs, investors and those in the larger innovation economy – which highlights 89 active venture capital bloggers (defined as blogging at least a couple times in the past year) in the venture capital, angel and accelerator community. The table is a bit different than our previous periodic tables, which primarily focus on active investors and key companies by vertical.
See the table below or click to expand.
We expect that this list of 89 will change over time as new investors become active in the VC blogosphere and others become zombies so we’ll continue to update. If you believe someone should be added, please leave a comment below with a link to their blog.
Navigating the Periodic Table of Venture Capital Blogs
The table focuses on investors with personal blogs broken down as follows:
- The left side of the Periodic Table of Venture Capital Blogs includes names of investor-bloggers who belong to mid-size or large-cap venture capital firms ranging from Andreessen Horowitz to Foundry Group to Union Square Ventures. A handful of investor-bloggers at corporate VC firms are also highlighted.
- On the right of that are investor-bloggers at micro VC firm (<$100M funds). These range from Homebrew to NextView Ventures to SV Angel.
- The far right covers angel investor-bloggers as well as those belonging to or running accelerator programs such as Y Combinator and Techstars.
