[Ilya Strebulaev @IlyaStrebulaev]

The 2026 Strebulaev-Jackson AI Venture Ranking of the top 50 VC firms comes out next week.

The hard part was deciding what counts as an AI company. Almost every startup now mentions AI in its pitch, and databases tag companies very generously. So we built our own classification.

The ranking itself works like our other venture rankings. It uses the same six factors, counts only investments in US-based AI companies, and measures the value a firm created in AI, net of cost, dilution and decay, rather than how many unicorns it backed.

We rank 100 firms and publish publicly the top 50. A companion ranking of individual AI investors follows.

For now, here are the 100 firms we scored, in alphabetical order.

GGW Sharks is back for its 69th edition 🚀

September 22, we’re bringing another five investors into one room with founders who are building, fundraising, and looking for the right people to meet.

Selected startups get 2 minutes to pitch. No slides. No long presentation. Just tell us what you’re building, why it matters, and make the investors want to meet you again.

This time, our Sharks are:
🦈 Joseph Nagle, Partner Track
🦈 Nina Leskovec, Silicon Gardens
🦈 Kevin Moore, Serac Ventures

🦈 Jamal Trotman, Radix Innovation Capital

Come meet other founders, listen to how investors react to pitches, hear the questions they ask, see what catches their attention, and make new connections along the way.

And when there’s a real match between a founder and an investor, we help move the conversation forward with a warm introduction.

Can you make someone understand your startup, believe the opportunity, and want to hear more in 3 minutes?

Applications are now open for Go Global World Pitch Bootcamp #21: Make Your Pitch Fundable!

This isn’t another webinar about pitch decks.

Apply here to pitch: https://t.co/7kPYXoW1Jy

You’ll have 3 minutes to present your startup, followed by 5 minutes with experienced venture and startup experts who will challenge the story, assumptions, market, traction and GTM behind it.

And because you’ll also hear other founders pitch, you get something most fundraising advice can’t give you: a chance to see, in real time, what makes one startup immediately click and another one difficult to understand.

For this session, we’re joined by:

Andy Cwik, Managing Director at Solanus Capital Partners. Andrew is a serial entrepreneur and operator who now leads a $5M early-stage fund backing U.S. pre-seed and seed companies.

Inalcan Gulec, Senior Investment Associate at Eksim Ventures. Inalcan brings 15+ years of commercial experience across operating, venture and founder mentorship roles.

The goal is simple:
Come with the pitch you’re using today.

Leave knowing how to make your company easier to understand, your opportunity more convincing, and your next fundraising conversation stronger.

And there’s another opportunity.

🏆 The strongest pitch gets a priority slot at GGW Sharks, where the founder will pitch live in front of five investors.

We’re now selecting founders for the September 8 session.

You pitch your startup. The investor nods. Says "interesting."

Then nothing.

That is how most pitch events end. A handshake. A maybe. A silence that stretches until you stop checking your email.

GGW Sharks is not that.

Apply here to pitch: https://t.co/ACfcNUjo84

The format is two minutes. No slides. You stand in front of five investors and explain what you are building.

If the panel wants to continue the conversation, we make the intro happen. Not a forwarded email. Not "let me check." A direct warm introduction.

The judge panel:
• Bryce Gilleland, California Innovation Fund
• Dan Ellis, Sher Ventures
• Ketie Weiss, ff Venture Capital
• Alex Zhuravlev, Mento VC
• David Mandel, Emerging Ventures Capital

Not pitching? Come watch, network, and see how investors really evaluate deals.
