Internal Nominations Form

  • Open to GPs only.
  • The 2025 listing covers activity recorded in 2024 (though we may take into account previous activity too, if it culminates in the achievement in 2024).
  • No self-nominations or anonymous nominations.
  • Internal Nominations are only accepted from recognised senior leader or marketing names within the firm, or from recognised external communications agencies.
  • The main body of the nomination is *confidential* - it will be seen by the panel of judges only.
  • Within those *confidential* sections, please back up your nominations with supporting data (fundraise stats, multiples, growth figures etc). These could be a significant factor for the judges.
  • As well as addressing core investment activity, there is also a question on the individual's contribution to their team, firm, or wider industry. This is the opportunity to flag the individual's non-core-investment impact or leadership. These answers, depending on the extent of the impact or achievement, *could carry equal weight to the core investment answers.*
  • At the end of the submission form, there is a box for a non-confidential summary of the nomination containing information that you'd be content to be published. In the event that your nomination is successful, our editorial team will be in touch to sign off on any proposed changes/edits to that summary.
  • The Future 40 list will be announced in the September edition of Real Deals magazine in a dedicated pull-out spread with headshots and the agreed non-confidential summaries.
  • It will be made available over the usual subscription paywall for sharing along with dedicated social-media tiles for the listees.
