Leaderboard: Growth Investors
GrowthCap’s Leaderboard is informed by years of research, market insight, and feedback collected through our annual awards processes conducted since 2013. Investors appearing on the table have received two or more GrowthCap awards, including at least one recognition during the last twelve months, and were selected based on nominations and feedback submitted by portfolio company CEOs, colleagues, peers, LPs, and/or other participants across the growth investing ecosystem.
Marks are assigned based on cumulative GrowthCap awards recognition, with AAA representing the highest designation. Marks are intended to reflect the extent of an individual’s recognition over time and across GrowthCap’s awards categories and are not intended to represent a direct ranking of investment performance. Individuals are listed in order based on Mark designation and cumulative GrowthCap awards received.
The below information includes updates through April 30, 2026.
