02

Separate activity from reputation

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

Explore the evidence ↗
03

Plan the next financing step

13 of 38 companies with a full 24-month observation window raised another equity round. This investor backed 4 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.

04

Use a specific point of relevance
