- Organizations that back startups. Individuals, buyout funds and firms we found to be inactive are left out. Type: we class every organization on this list as "Corporate VC", from its own site or a filing.
- Order

Activity score out of 100: recency of the latest fund filing or dated deal (50: full marks within 3 months, then stepping down at 6, 12 and 24 months), size of the fund on file on a log scale (35) and completeness of the public record (15). It is a measure of activity and fit, not of quality or returns.
