23/09/2011 Robert Tyerman

Heiko Hubertz, founder and head of Germany's biggest game portal Bigpoint.com, has won the 2011 Investor Allstars Award for Entrepreneur of the Year. Having founded what is now the third biggest such portal in the world, Hubertz received this coveted gong at yesterday evening's Investor Allstar Awards ceremony in the gothic surroundings of London's Natural History Museum, sponsored by early stage technology backer MTI and organised by investment bank GP Bullhound and Business XL magazine, published by Vitesse Media (VIS). 

Broadcaster Katie Derham presented the awards to Hubertz and the other award winners, chosen by a formidable panel of judges from the worlds of venture capital, private equity and investment. Geneva-based Sven Lingjaerde, co-founding managing director of venture capital group Vision Capital, won the annual award for an Outstanding Contribution in this field.

Niklas Zennstrom of Atomico Ventures was named Venture Capital personality of the Year, while DFJ Esprit was chosen as VC Fund of 2011. Baring Vostok Capital Partners carried the prize for Exit of the Year on the strength of May's flotation of Russian internet winner Yandex, whose £5 billion float value was 500 times its worth in 2000. 

Demeter Partners won the award for Cleantech Investor of the Year, while Braveheart Investors was named Private Investor Network of 2011. Kreos Capital took the laurels as Service Provider of the Year and the award for Buyout/Development Capital Fund of the Year went to Frog Capital.

British Smaller Companies VCT won the award for Venture Capital Trust of the Year. High-Tech Grunderfonds was named Equity Gap Fund of the Year.
