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: 1 business phone (Form ADV), 2 websites (Form ADV), 4 work emails (firm website) · as of 2026-09-17

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): Victoria Fu (Junior Analyst), Vik Chadha (Board Member), Cordt Huneke (Board Member), Brian Oldham (Operating Partner), Mark Crane (Operating Partner), Steve Huey (Operating Partner), Jack Danehy (Board Member), Specialty Credit (CFO Services), John Shumate (CEO & Chairman), Transaction Support (Portfolio), Rob Penta (President, Chief Legal Officer & Vice Chairman), Jack Hellige (Vice President, Funds & Transactions).

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
