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.
DFX has not observed these firms together on any transaction in our coverage. That is a statement about what DFX has read, not about the firms: a deal that was never announced, or announced without naming its capital, cannot appear here.

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.
28 sponsors observed, 18 of them more than once.
