Forbes' Midas List Skips SoCal VCs, Again, But Gives Nod To Snap

The annual Midas List, issued by Forbes ranking the top venture capitalists, has again skipped any ranking of a Southern California venture capital firm--but credits the huge success of LA's Snap for the high rankings of eight VCs. Forbes said that Snap's IPO drove the high rankings of Ron Conway, SV Angel (#43); Tony Florence, New Enterprise Associates (#75); Mitch Lasky, Benchmark (#40); Jeremy Liew, Lightspeed Venture Partners (#32); Mary Meeker, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (#6); Dennis Phelps, Institutional Venture Partners (#45); Scott Sandell, New Enterprise Associates (#24), and Hemant Taneja, General Catalyst Partners (#70).
