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.

## The team

Named by the firm itself, on a filing, its Form ADV or its company registration **2 named**

DI **David Ike Frazee** Manager and Member of the General Partner i Filing they signed

PB **Peter Bicknell Kellner** Manager of Richmond China Media GP, LLC, the General Partner i Filing they signed

We also hold **4** 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

**$116M** gross assets of its funds Oct 2026

**Exempt** reporting adviser venture or small private funds

- **Legal name:** Richmond Global Ventures LLC
- **SEC number:** CRD 174282

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**3** of 6 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 **2 in all**

**[LearnVest](https://millionrounds.com/company/learnvest)** Bought by [Northwestern Mutual](https://millionrounds.com/fund/northwestern-mutual-future-ventures) **$250M** Mar 2015

**[AdChina](https://millionrounds.com/company/adchina)** Bought by [Alibaba](https://millionrounds.com/fund/alibaba) **Undisclosed** Jan 2015

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

New fund on file

**$16M**

raised in Oct 2015

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