The names under each deal are the parties the announcement itself printed, in the role it gave them. Most announcements name the buyer and not the lenders, which is why 57 of 225 deals here carry capital.

Independent sponsors buying here

Firms that cleared the verified-sponsor evidence and bought a company in this sector, most recent first.

Other buyers on these deals

Funds, strategics, holding companies and firms DFX has not verified as independent sponsors. They are named because an announcement named them as the buyer.

The capital that shows up here
