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.

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

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

Organiq Media

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**

**[U-Systems](https://millionrounds.com/company/u-systems)** Bought by [GE Healthcare](https://millionrounds.com/fund/ge-healthcare) **Undisclosed** Nov 2012

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