## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

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

Cfainstitute Diversity VC Standard ILPA PRI

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 **3 in all**

**[CollabNet](https://millionrounds.com/company/collabnet)** Bought by Woven Systems **Undisclosed** Feb 2014

**[nCircle Network Security](https://millionrounds.com/company/ncircle-network-security)** Bought by Tripwire **Undisclosed** Mar 2013

**[LifeLock](https://millionrounds.com/company/lifelock)** Listed **Undisclosed** Oct 2012

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

New fund on file

raised in Oct 2026

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