Clarification requested
- Please provide the Wikilinks for the awards in question. For example, the New York Times "Top Venture Capitalists" should include a wikilink to that article, if one exists.
- The information concerning Forerunner Ventures is more apropos for the article on that topic.

@Spintendo:
Thank you for your feedback, I just added the Wikilinks for any award mentioned that has a Wikipedia page.
We can try to create a page for Forerunner Ventures but it doesn't exist yet.
