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.

We also hold **8** 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

**$145M** gross assets of its funds Oct 2026

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 **2 in all**

**[Carefx](https://millionrounds.com/company/carefx)** Bought by Harris **Undisclosed** Feb 2011

**[Environmental Support Solutions](https://millionrounds.com/company/environmental-support-solutions)** Bought by IHS Inc. **$59M** Sept 2009

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