for: its one Form D vehicle carries a plain company name: the issuer's own raise
for: largest non-pooled vehicle raised $275M; strong evidence against a lower-middle-market sponsor

before the classifier: Independent sponsor

How do we know

Who to call

the organisation, the role and the published line, with the filing or website that published it; revealed to signed-in accounts

The firm's published line

Revealable: 1 business phone (sec form d) · as of 2026-09-24

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): A••• E• B••••• (Executive Officer/Director), J••• D• D•••••• (Director), K••••••• M• N•••••• (Director), R•••• M• B••••• (Director), R•••• M• G••• (Director), S••••• E• H••• (Director), S••••• M• W••• (Director), D•••• M• N••••• (Executive Officer), J••• M• M•••••••• (Executive Officer).

Who to call is the organisation, the person's role and the line they published themselves: a business phone, office address, website or profile link from Form ADV, Form 13F or their own website, with that source named on every value. The counts above are what a reveal returns; a personal email is rarely published, so most reveals are the firm's line. Never data bought from a provider, never anything personal. Reveals by plan
