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 **32** 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

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

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**12** of 18 we have independently watched raise

[Andera - Building](https://millionrounds.com/company/andera)[Armadin - Building](https://millionrounds.com/company/armadin)[Cape - The](https://millionrounds.com/company/cape)[Chai Discovery -](https://millionrounds.com/company/chai-discovery)[Cognition](https://millionrounds.com/company/cognition-ai)[Crosby](https://millionrounds.com/company/crosby)[Decagon](https://millionrounds.com/company/decagon)[Etched](https://millionrounds.com/company/etched)[Legora](https://millionrounds.com/company/legora)[Periodic](https://millionrounds.com/company/periodic-labs)[Simile](https://millionrounds.com/company/simile)[TerraFirma](https://millionrounds.com/company/terrafirma) Atoms Cogent Corridor - Building Hera Sunday Robotics Tomo

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.
