2018年4月3日,美国《福布斯》杂志“全球最佳创投人”榜单(The Midas List)揭晓,红杉资本再次位列投资机构上榜人数之冠,共有9位投资人的名字闪亮榜单。其中,由沈南鹏领衔的红杉中国表现抢眼,他本人历史性地登上该榜单全球第一名,并再次刷新了由他自己创造并保持的中国投资家最好纪录。这同时也是全球华人创投人士首位得到此次桂冠,具有里程碑式的历史意义。
从2012年“全球最佳创投人”榜单首次有华人入选至今的7年间,沈南鹏始终是排名最高的华人投资家。
在沈南鹏和红杉中国团队高歌猛进的背后,是中国投资家群体的强势崛起,在全球投资舞台上,已然与美国投资人呈现出分庭抗礼之势。近十年来,红杉中国早早预见并且积极推动移动互联网的产业布局,几乎没有错过任何一个重量级玩家,更成为少有的T(头条)M(美团)D(滴滴)共同投资人。此外,来自红杉中国的两位合伙人周逵、计越同时入选该榜单,并分列13、90位。
在今年榜单的100名创投人中,有16位是华人投资家,创历史新高,彰显了中国企业和投资家们在全球市场日益增强的影响力。
沈南鹏的卓越表现,正是中国投资家崛起于全球的缩影;红杉中国的成功,也是中国在全球投资版图话语权逐渐加大的集中体现;中国独角兽与优秀企业层出不穷,更在全球范围内重新书写了科技与产业共生共荣的中国篇章。
迈达斯榜单(The Midas List)的名字来源于古希腊迈达斯王能够点石成金的神话,又被称为“金手指”榜单,多年来被业内认为是“创投界的奥斯卡”,该榜单向来以专业、严谨和权威性著称。
自从2001年开始,全球最佳创投人榜单每年都会评选出100名顶尖风险资本家,他们能于早期对具有潜力的领先科技企业做出重大的投资,并创造卓越的价值。
