An announcement gives the size of the round, not the size of this investor's cheque: the only rounds that imply a cheque are those where they were the sole named investor.

## The team

We hold **15** people at this firm from the lists this database was built from: a weaker source than the filings, since a list does not say when a title ended. Login to see them.

## What the register says

From the firm's own filings with the SEC, which it must file accurately by law

**1+** funds on file numbered funds in its name

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**1** of 4 we have independently watched raise

[Onebrief](https://millionrounds.com/company/onebrief) Details Markets Tech

Weaker than a round we watched, stronger than a list somebody sold us. A firm is far less willing to put a company on its own site that it never funded.
