VC Network Roles: Hubs, Connectors, Specialists & Islands

Across 170 tracked VC firms in the latest public portfolio snapshot, 43 earn the Hub badge (top quartile by co-investor count), 40 are Connectors (top quartile by country span — cross-border bridges), 39 are Specialists (top quartile by portfolio overlap with peers), and 25 are Islands (no co-investor ties to the tracked network). Badges stack, so the same firm can be both a Hub and a Connector. Cutoffs are computed against the connected cohort each run, so they tighten as the dataset grows.
