Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia:
US-based firms dominated the list of top ten global VC investors by the number of investments in 2020, with eight headquartered in the US, said a study.
According to GlobalData, several American venture capital (VC) investors managed to make a sizeable number of investments, despite the challenges around COVID-19.
Sequoia Capital participated in 275 VC funding rounds, which is the highest number of investments among all VC firms during 2020. The only non-US VC firms to make an appearance were China-based Tencent Holdings and the UK-based Seedrs.
