Tim Draper and Jennifer Fonstad have the "Midas" Touch

Jan. 24, 2008

DFJ's Tim Draper and Jennifer Fonstad on Forbes magazine's "Midas List".

Forbes' annual Midas 100 list surveys the top tech deal makers in the world. Last year, companies that venture capitalists helped launch hauled in $34 billion from 86 public offerings and 304 acquisitions. The final quarter of 2007 saw 31 IPOs--more than any other quarter since the third quarter of 2000--worth $3 billion.

The Forbes Midas List shows just who ushered in all those billions. Their ranking considers venture-backed technology and life sciences companies that have gone public or been acquired in the past five years, as well as the amount of capital it took to get there and the level of involvement in a company by its investors and advisers.
