Observed financing independent sponsors
1 sponsor, 2 observed deals as lender, senior debt: City Capital Ventures (2).
Sponsors this provider has financedWhat these counts meanCounts are the financings DFX has read in announcements. Most come from lenders' own deal archives, which list a lender's repeat deals with a sponsor but not the sponsor's deals with other lenders, so a repeat relationship shows where one lender publishes and is not a rate at which sponsors return to a lender. Counts undercount and record past financing; DFX does not predict who will finance a deal.
1 sponsor observed, 1 of them more than once.
Observed once
- this provider financed City Capital Ventures on its deal for Rackson Restaurants (2021). Roles: lender, senior debt. restaurantbusinessonline.com

Which sponsors in their sectors has DFX not observed them besideHow this is orderedOrdered by the sponsor's depth in your sectors. The capital named on their deals is printed beside each one so the absence can be checked rather than taken on trust.
No announcement DFX has read names This provider as capital on an independent sponsor's deal, so there is no sector here to compare against yet.
