Who to call

the organisation, the role and the published line, with the filing or website that published it; revealed to signed-in accounts

The firm's published line

Revealable: 2 business phones (Form ADV), 2 websites (Form ADV) · as of 2026-09-12

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): David Kirk (TECHNICAL ADVISOR), Dawit Gebresellassie (Senior Associate), Arthur Johnson (Advisor), Briana Billingham (CHIEF OF STAFF), Dainielle Thompson (EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT), Michael Nichols (Venture Operations Partner), Robin Bordoli (Advisor), Lindsay Lee (FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER), Lindsay Lincoln Macarthur Lee (Founder And Managing Member Of Authentic Ventures Investment Manager, Llc And All General Partners Listed In Section 7.A), Amel Hassan Abdelwahid (Chief Compliance Officer And Director Of Finance).

Who to call is the organisation, the person's role and the line they published themselves: a business phone, office address, website or profile link from Form ADV, Form 13F or their own website, with that source named on every value. The counts above are what a reveal returns; a personal email is rarely published, so most reveals are the firm's line. Never data bought from a provider, never anything personal. Reveals by plan
