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.
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.
Coverage behind this list: 3 providers observed financing sponsors in these 2 sectors · 11 of this firm's own deals read in them · most recent of theirs observed Feb 19, 2026.
