## What the register says

From the firm's own filings with the SEC, which it must file accurately by law

**$212M** gross assets of its funds Oct 2026

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

- **Legal name:** Venture Investors LLC
- **SEC number:** CRD 163693

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**3** of 15 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.
