The graph between the graphs

A map of how capital moves

Nine domains laid out as the capital chain: who has capital, who advises on it, who manages it, how it is financed, where it is deployed. Hover or tap a domain for its scale, or an edge for what two graphs share. Every edge is a count of entities resolved onto both graphs by a shared identifier (CRD, CIK, EIN, ADV fund id, individual CRD) or a citation, never by a name alone.

Which capital providers repeatedly finance the same sponsors?

Counts the distinct sponsors each capital provider has backed on announced deals, and flags the pairs that recur.

Current findings →

Which organizations appear across four graphs?

Current findings →

How does family capital reach the property graph?

Method

How identities are joined

Identity tier

Shared CRD, SEC CIK, EIN, ADV private fund id, individual CRD, or a citation of one record by another. These bind entities into one cluster. Nothing else does.

Candidate tier

Same normalised name and state, same registered domain, or the same exact name on organizations. Shown on an entity page as a candidate, never merged, never counted above.

Never

A first and last name alone (35.6% ambiguous in DFX’s own measurement), a one-word brand, a shared suite number. The real estate graph is joined only through purpose-built bridges, and those are inferences.
