Global Venture Capital (VC) Blog Directory – Ranked By Monthly Uniques
It’s exciting times these days after we launched Volition Capital on Monday (01/11/10). Commensurate with that launch, we also launched the Ask Volition blog – which is a Q&A blog that is authored by various folks at Volition. The first post on the blog is: Why did you choose the name Volition Capital?
Despite all that’s going on, I decided to publish the 3rd version of the Global VC Blog Directory (v1: May 2009, v2: Sept 2009). The past two versions have been based on Google Reader subscribers. Some requests came in to do a ranking via monthly uniques to better show current readership – so this edition is ranked by monthly uniques according to Compete. The specific number is the average monthly uniques in Q409 [(Oct+Nov+Dec)/3]. While Compete does have data for well trafficked subdomains (e.g. blogname.wordpress.com), approximately 50% of the lesser trafficked blogs on subdomains did not register unfortunately. I also couldn’t isolate traffic statistics for blogs embedded into a broader site (e.g. www.firmname.com/blog). Blogs without traffic stats are on a separate list below. Apologies to those I couldn’t get data for. Interestingly, lesser trafficked blogs with their own distinct domains did seem to get picked up more reliably. Give me feedback on whether you prefer the ranking on subscribers or monthly uniques – I’m not fully committed to either yet. Expect version 4 of this directory in April 2010 based on Q110 data. As always, if I’m missing any new or existing VC/PE blogs, please leave it in the comment field.

Sean, I’m doing an update this weekend. Nice blog. I had trouble finding your background – full name and VC firm that you work at? Could you let me know?
thks. more info at http://www.anthemis.com – strictly speaking we’re not vc’s but we make investments in early and growth stage companies
many thanks for this – brilliant resource and brilliant links!
Great list Larry; it’s going to take some time to sift through, but great stuff.
My PE/VC blog, The Private Equiteer, is feeling a little unloved though. 🙂
Who is the author of the Private Equiteer?
Congratulations on ranking #12 by unique visitors!
You forgot to mention Roger Ehrenberg from IA Capital Ventures:
http://www.informationarbitrage.com
According to compete.com, Roger’s blog attracted 8,846 uniques last month.
All set Steve. Thanks for the referral.
Noticed link to my blog is broken in your list. #48 goes to wrong site. Has to be hard to keep track of the details; huge list. Thanks for putting it together.

Larry – happy to give you my trailing month unique for your post. Please drop me an email when you need an update. The last three months average were 1559 UV/month.
I think the subscriber number has less volatility than the UV and you had them for all the blogs but all in all I am not sure it makes a big difference.
Thanks for doing this :+)
Cheers,
Philippe

Thanks a lot. I will see your suggestion site soon.
As with films, Templeheart does not come between the investor and producer. Once a member has chosen a project they are interested in, from the research and information made available, they have direct communication with the production company.

Would be interesting if we could see metrics like which of these blogs is most popular amongst other fellow bloggers on the list. For example, what is Fred reading? What is Josh reading? What is Bijan reading? Almost an alternative framing of popularity. Possibly more relevant.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult
time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of
your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way
of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two
images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I actually enjoyed reading it, you’re a great
author. I will remember to bookmark your blog and definitely will
come back in the future. I want to encourage yourself to continue your great posts, have a nice evening!
