How do we know
Verified sponsor. Evidence identifies a firm: a publisher named it as the buyer in an announced transaction, a law firm or capital partner page names it as an independent sponsor, or its own site says so.
Nothing on this page comes from a website claim unless it is labelled as such with the URL.
Who has financed themWhat 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.

Who finances deals like theirsHow this is rankedRanked by deals read in these sectors, not by fit: this is the capital that shows up in announcements around firms like this one, which is a place to start a list and not a prediction about who will finance the next deal.
The most recent deal of theirs we could classify by sector closed Jan 19, 2021, outside the two-year window this list reads.
