Methodology

What the score measures, who is eligible, and what it deliberately excludes.

How is the Brouky score for Austria calculated?
Each firm is scored out of 110 points across four measured components: portfolio outcomes (40), deal volume (30), risk adjustment (25) and cheque-size fit (15). The score is computed from tracked investments and portfolio company status. It is not editorial and firms cannot influence it.
Which firms are eligible for the Austria ranking?
Venture and corporate venture funds headquartered in Austria with at least 5 tracked investments. 20 firms qualify; the top 20 are listed. Angel investors, family offices, banks, accelerators and government vehicles are excluded because they are scored on a different basis and are not comparable.
How often is the ranking updated?
Scores are recomputed as new investments and portfolio outcomes are recorded, and this page refreshes daily.
My fund's data looks wrong. Can it be corrected?
Yes. Claim the fund's profile on Brouky to review the underlying investments and portfolio records, and the score updates from the corrected data.
