Meet 45 rising stars of the venture capital industry who stood out in 2024NEWS | 17 December 2024We asked our readers and top VCs to name the best up-and-coming investors of 2024.
These VCs come from big and small firms and invest in startups across all sectors and stages.
These 45 venture capitalists are the names to keep on your radar in 2025 and beyond.
Over the last two years, artificial intelligence has exploded into public consciousness, leading to a boom in new startup creation and an antidote to an otherwise sleepy VC investing landscape.
The trend is creating more opportunities than ever for early-career investors to shine when it comes to helping source big deals — or even being the one to write the check.
Every year, Business Insider asks top investors to name the most promising young VCs in their networks. BI also asked the general public, as well as previous rising stars, who they thought should make the cut.
The investors selected to be our 2024 rising stars of venture capital come from a wide array of backgrounds and range from associates to founding partners at their funds, and we also threw in a few picks of our own based on the investor performance throughout this year.
Unsurprisingly, many young VCs are making a name for themselves by betting on hot AI startups. But BI's list also includes investors specializing in healthcare, defense tech, climate tech, and other industries.
