Investor Rankings are calculated using our Seedtable score – a 1 to 100 score that uses quantitative and qualitative data points (like the size of their fund or the quality of the companies they invested in) to signal the strength behind an investor. A score closer to 100 indicates an investor is worth watching closely.
