Nov 3, 2026
SINGAPORE - Nov. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- K2 Global / Ozi Amanat has been named among the Top 100 AI Venture Capitalists in the 2026.
The ranking, published by Stanford Graduate School of Business Professor Ilya Strebulaev and researcher Blake Jackson, recognizes individual venture capitalists based on their investments in U.S.-based artificial intelligence companies.
Ozi joins a distinguished group of investors from leading venture capital firms, including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, and Thrive Capital.
The recognition is particularly meaningful for K2 Global, a relatively small, independent venture capital firm that has built its investments around identifying and supporting exceptional founders developing transformative technologies.
"I've spent years doing what I love most — finding exceptional founders, believing in their vision, and supporting them as they build companies with the potential to change the world," Ozi Amanat. "To be recognized alongside investors I've admired for years is incredibly meaningful. I'm especially grateful to the founders who have trusted us and the investors who have believed in us. The best is yet to come."
The ranking evaluates investment value creation using factors including valuations, dilution, net profit, and investment attribution. The research covers qualifying investments in U.S.-based AI companies through August 31, 2026.
In a companion ranking of AI venture capital firms, K2 Global was also identified among the Top 100 globally and as one of only five firms headquartered outside the United States to appear on the list.
