Written insights from the recorded portfolio, with the evidence linked below.

01

02

Separate activity from reputation

8 first company relationships appear in the latest 24 months, compared with 12 in the preceding window. The latest recorded investment is 2026-03-23. This describes observed activity through 2026-05-22; it does not establish current availability.

Explore the evidence ↗
03

Plan the next financing step

23 of 38 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 5 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.

Explore the evidence ↗
04

Use a specific point of relevance

B2C E-Commerce is the largest displayed sector by company count, appearing in 13 portfolio companies; sector tags overlap. 5 first entries carry a recorded lead flag and the median first-round syndicate includes 10 other named backers. Shared rounds are evidence of co-investment, not evidence of an introduction route.
