Who Are the Most Influential Venture Capitalists on Social Media?

Kred, the two-part scoring system for social media influence, has scoured the Twitter feed to find the most active venture capitalists on the microblogging site. Venture capitalists aren't known for their candor. People who write million-dollar checks don't walk around saying things like, "That @square card reader is super cute. Imma move it from my wishlist to my shopping cart! OMG." At least not before they've sealed the deal. What exactly are they tweeting about? Take a look.

Kred, the two-part scoring system for social media influence, has scoured the Twitter feed to find the most active venture capitalists on the microblogging site. If you’re keeping track of funding trends or you have an elevator pitch to share, these are the handles to watch.

Kred’s three highest Influence scores in Venture Capital belong to:

  1. Al Gore (972/3), co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management
  2. Biz Stone (967/5), the co-founder of Twitter, Inc. and advisor at Spark Capital
  3. Kevin Rose (966/6), partner in Google Ventures

The influence score is a way to gauge a person’s effect on others, and is measured by how often a person’s tweets are retweeted and how many followers they have.
