Cottonwood Technology Fund Named One of the World’s Top-10 Best-Performing Venture Capital Funds
It’s not every day that a smaller, science-driven VC fund from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 is listed among the global elite.

We’re honored to share that Cottonwood Technology Fund has been ranked as one of the Top 10 best-performing venture capital fund families worldwide in PitchBook’s 2024 Global Manager Performance Score League Tables (as of 30 June 2025 – link to PitchBook’s report in the comments).

Cottonwood placed 6th globally, positioning us alongside much larger and more widely known names in the venture ecosystem. We’re humbled by this recognition—not because of the accolades, but because it reflects the consistency of our long-term strategy: backing breakthrough deep-tech ventures from idea to impact.

This acknowledgment is significant given the methodology behind PitchBook’s rankings. These are not based on marketing optics or fund size. The scores come from a rigorous, data-driven assessment of actual fund performance relative to peer benchmarks across vintages.

While past performance never guarantees future results, we see this as validation of the vision we’ve pursued from the start: taking calculated risks on early-stage science and engineering breakthroughs, with the patience and operational support to help them scale.

▶️ To our entrepreneurs, LPs, co-investors, and team—thank you for believing in this mission.
We’re more energized than ever to build what’s next.

We are gladly having Cottonwood Technology Fund on board as lead investor. They are very supportive on aligning strategy and execution. The first year they brought in already 8 corporates as potential customer. We are surprised every time about their extensive entrepreneurial mindset, business experience and global network of Cottonwood. They have been very smart people and 24/7 supportive.

We would not exist, or certainly not in New Mexico, if it were not for Cottonwood. Until Cottonwood got involved we struggled to get attention from other capital providers. Cottonwood has been a real catalyst, beyond their money, to upgrading our management team, opening doors to potential strategic investors and customers and focusing on our market entry strategy. Cottonwood has been a great partner in driving our success in every area. I truly believe they wake up every day looking for ways and ideas that can support our success.

Cottonwood began working with me a year before they closed their first fund. Even though they weren’t initially in a position to invest they still opened doors to potential investors and customers, and assisted with the fund raising strategy and execution plan. Once their fund was closed they took an aggressive lead role in pulling together our first round and helping us launch the company. Now after having raised almost $150M they continue to support our growth, provide valuable advice and open doors to additional resources as we need them. We have been fortunate to have Cottonwood as a partner in building our company.
