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.

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**

**[ClearSaleing](https://millionrounds.com/company/clearsaleing)** Bought by [GSI Commerce](https://millionrounds.com/fund/gsi-commerce) **Undisclosed** Jan 2011

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

New fund on file

**Raised**

a new fund in Mar 2018

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