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.
No capital provider has been observed financing this sponsor in an announcement yet.
Service provider relationshipsHow a firm is placed hereCounsel, accountants, bankers, debt advisors and other firms named in a role on one of this sponsor's deals, by the announcement, a filing or the firm's own deal page. Every engagement links its source; medium confidence is labelled.
