Methodology & license

Definition. Investors are ranked by the number of distinct primary funding rounds they are named in, announced between 2026-01-01 and 2026-08-26. “Led” counts the subset where the investor is recorded as lead. “Companies” is distinct companies backed, which can be lower than rounds joined when an investor follows on into the same company twice.

Scope. New primary capital only — pre-seed through growth equity. Exits are excluded entirely (acquisitions, IPOs, secondaries, mergers, tender offers): exit consideration is not capital raised, and counting it would overstate activity. Rounds are included only at confidence 50 or above and with a confirmed or unconfirmed status, so retracted and disputed reports are dropped. Investors below the public visibility threshold are excluded.

Coverage and its limits. Drawn from 4,674 funding rounds recorded for the period, of which 3,269 name at least one investor. An investor absent from a round we hold is absent from these counts, so treat this as a ranking of recorded activity, not a claim of completeness. This is 2026 year to date, not a full calendar year. Frozen 2026-08-28 so the snapshot stays citable; the live database behind it updates daily.

License. Free to use anywhere, including in commercial and published work. The only requirement is attribution: credit “Indexed” and link to this page (indexed.vc/reports/most-active-investors-2026). Released under CC BY 4.0.
