first_img Multicoin announced an investment in the bandwidth sharing network Grass

On September 29, Shayon Sengupta, a partner at the cryptocurrency investment firm Multicoin Capital, stated that Multicoin has invested in the decentralized bandwidth network Grass through its hedge fund and venture capital fund, referring to it as the reading layer of machine intelligence. Over the past 18 months, Grass has recruited contributors to share idle bandwidth through crypto incentives for querying and parsing the public internet, connecting data to the data pipeline of frontier labs.The article cites a report from Grass itself, stating that over 6 million contributors have received rewards denominated in USD, funded by the revenue generated directly from their contributions. Grass reported revenues of $17 million in 2025, with another $17 million recorded in the first half of 2026, with nearly all AI clients making repeat purchases. Grass claims the business is profitable and projects that revenue from training data alone will reach $75 million in 2026, with relevant figures coming from its call on July 7 to token holders and network participants.Sengupta wrote that Grass plans to launch a Contents API, allowing models to open and render public pages through residential networks, and plans to introduce a Search API along with web indexing. Grass has collected over 1 billion public internet videos, some of which are used with Multicoin portfolio company Inference.net for training video annotation models.

first_img Stanford professor releases venture capital firm rankings: 5% of VCs generate 90% of industry profits, 21 new firms enter the top 100

Stanford Business School Professor Ilya Strebulaev, in collaboration with Blake Jackson, released the 2026 Strebulaev-Jackson Venture Capital Firm Rankings, based on nearly 30 years of data from over 230,000 investments and nearly 13,000 VCs. The research estimates that about 5% of VCs generate approximately 90% of the industry's profits. The top five are Sequoia Capital (10,158 points), Andreessen Horowitz (8,292 points), Accel, DST Global, and Tiger Global. Among them, Parkway Venture Capital (19th place) and Notable (20th place) made it into the top 20, but are not well-known leading brands.The rankings are based on six major factors: discount valuation, dilution adjustment, net profit (after costs), value added (lead investments and board seats), human capital decay (three-and-a-half-year half-life), and credit allocation between institutions and individuals (25% for the investing institution and 75% for the current institution). Of the top 100, 62 are located in California, 19 in New York, and 6 each in Massachusetts and Texas. 21 were established in 2015 or later, and 23 of the best investments are in frontier AI or AI infrastructure companies, with OpenAI listed as the best investment by 4 firms, xAI by 3, and Anthropic and Perplexity by 2 each. The ranking methodology has a correlation of only about 0.27 with the Midas List, with SV Angel investing in about 139 unicorns ranked 31st, and Thrive with only 47 unicorns ranked 8th. This ranking is the result of research by Stanford professors and does not constitute investment advice.
