How we list individuals

Only what is already public.

Everyone here was named in a round, a filing or their own firm's pages. No photographs. How we collect it.

Nothing inferred.

A page says the title their firm publishes, the firm, and the rounds we saw them named in. No guessed wealth, cheque size or appetite.

Removal is unconditional.

Ask and the record goes, without a reason, without an account, and it stays gone. The same form that corrects a fund removes a person.

Find the person, not just the fund.

Search by firm, group, market and whether we have watched them invest. Free with an account.
