Celebrities can give a much-needed boost in brand recognition to the companies they back. 

But some celebrity investors stand out from the pack when it comes to picking future unicorns or identifying strong M&A targets.

We used CB Insights data to cut through the hype and see which celebrities-turned-investors are the strongest. 

To create the Celebrity VC Index, we dug into recent financing and exit activity, unicorn metrics, and portfolio company Mosaic scores — CB Insights’ proprietary algorithm measuring startup health and potential.

We mined earnings calls, analyzed business relationships, and dug into investments and acquisitions to survey the AI activities of some of the world’s largest companies across industries.
