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 **35** 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

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

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**0** of 3 we have independently watched raise

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**

**[Xamarin](https://millionrounds.com/company/xamarin)** Bought by [Microsoft](https://millionrounds.com/fund/microsoft) **Undisclosed** Feb 2016

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 Jul 2026

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