GCV Powerlist Award 2023
This award is an authoritative award given by Global Corporate Venturing, a global media company related to CVC, to the top 100 investors out of more than 6,000 companies from around the world once a year. It is considered to be a great honor to be selected for this award because, in addition to the number of investments and the growth rate of the investee, strategic and leadership factors such as thought-leadership, vision and motivational abilities are taken into consideration.
I am proud to represent MS&AD Ventures in the GCV Powerlist in 2023 for the fourth year in a row, and we are grateful to GCV for recognizing us. This is a team award that is a result of the hard work of each member of our team . Our structure and efficient process along with the strong support from MS&AD Group in Japan has enabled us to move fast and execute well globally. I’m incredibly proud of what our small team has accomplished in a very short time since we started in 2018, and we will continue to work to build more value every year. Jon Soberg, Managing Partner
Seed 100
Business Insider, a well-known online news media in the US, selects top 100 from more than 1,600 investors after evaluating the performance of seed investors around the world on 25-categories using a valuation model developed by a seed venture capital firm called Tribe Capital .
It is such an honor to be listed among some of the best investors in the world, who I respect so much. This award means very much to me personally because of the criteria applied and what it means. By analyzing the growth of investments since the seed round, this award is measuring the value of finding and selecting great investments, and helping portfolio companies grow and succeed. We work tirelessly to find the best companies and help them in every way we can, and this award indicates that we are doing well in finding and adding value. Jon Soberg, Managing Partner
