Not All That Glitters... Forbes Scraps Its Midas List
Forbes will not publish its annual Midas List next year, peHUB has learned. A company spokeswoman confirmed the decision, saying that there are no current plans to revisit it. Really a shame, given that 2010 would have been the year in which Google's IPO would have no longer factored into the rankings. For the uninitiated, Forbes' Midas List is designed to "identify venture capitalists who generate profits for their investors and assist in building valuable, long-lived technology and life sciences companies." It's considered the bible for VC bragging rights, with firms quick to send out indulgent press releases when one of their partners makes the cut.
