MIAMI - JerseyDesk -- SINGAPORE — 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.
