DFX does not pair this company with sponsors. In two blind audits of the pairs this site used to show, about a quarter to a third were judged a good fit, so a list here would mostly be wrong. Each verified sponsor's deal history is published instead, deal by deal, with the announcement behind it, so you can judge the fit yourself. Verified sponsors and their deals · Why there are no pairs
