Midas: Get the Golden Investors
View through CrossRef
One third of the Venture Capital (VC) money invested in the US comes from Midas investors, the top 100 venture capital investors nominated each year by Forbes. Also, Midas investors’ funding increases chances of success. How to attract them towards backing a business venture? We unveil the mechanism attracting Midas investors through a novel temporal network model focused on nodes’ dynamic fitness, by using the interactions among VCs, Midas investors, companies, and founders. The findings suggest that, while seed stage investors play a significant role, the main attraction channel is through a direct relationship to the founders. Founders who were backed by Midas in their previous project are more likely to get Midas’ investments in their latter venture. The destiny of startups seems set before their birth.
