Venture Capital

Venture firms ranked by portfolio strength — a tier-weighted count of how many of the companies they have backed publish APIs that score well on the Kin Score. The firms themselves are not API providers and carry no score of their own; the badge on each row is the rating band of its portfolio, and every firm's portfolio graph lives on vcs.apis.io.
