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

Named by the firm itself, on a filing, its Form ADV or its company registration **1 named**

AD **Anuradha Duggal** Manager/Member i Form ADV

We also hold **6** 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

**$103M** gross assets of its funds Oct 2026

**Exempt** reporting adviser venture or small private funds

- **Legal name:** FFF Management Co. LLC
- **SEC number:** CRD 294040

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**1** of 5 we have independently watched raise

[Voices](https://millionrounds.com/company/voices) About Base Alleywatch Camp FFF Entrepreneur

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.

## Exits from the portfolio

Companies it backed that were later bought or listed **1 in all**

**[Manicube](https://millionrounds.com/company/manicube)** Bought by Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa **Undisclosed** Nov 2015

An exit counts when it came after the firm's first round in the company. From historical deal records.

New fund on file

**$5.8M**

raised in Oct 2024

From its SEC filing, not a journalist: a firm that has just raised has money to deploy.
