Separate activity from reputation

11 first company relationships appear in the latest 24 months, compared with 15 in the preceding window. The latest recorded investment is 2025-10-20. This describes observed activity through 2026-05-22; it does not establish current availability.

03

Plan the next financing step

6 of 15 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 1 of those companies again within that window. The difference is a reason to research the wider syndicate, rather than assume the same investor will fund the next round.
