Andreessen Horowitz took part in 79 venture capital deals and became the first. Lightspeed Venture Partners and Bpifrance took second and third place in the list with 57 and 55 deals respectively.

A16z also ranked second in the ranking of the most active investors leading or co-leading deals. Microsoft became the leader thanks to its $10 billion investment in OpenAI and $1.3 billion in chatbot startup Inflection AI.

Interestingly, A16z’s leadership came despite the fact that they closed 43% fewer deals compared to 2022. This trend is even more pronounced given the fact that last year’s leaders – Tiger Global Management, SoftBank Vision Fund, and Sequoia Capital – are not on the 2023 list.

Among Seed stage investors, the leaders have not changed: Techstars, Y Combinator, and Antler.
