Relationship network

140 connected entities

From announced deals and their parties, Form ADV and Form D filings, the firm's funds and team, and disclosed LP commitments in the private equity graph. Dollar figures appear only where a source disclosed one.

1 mention in the sources could not be matched to a firm or person, so it is held back from the picture and its summary.

Some relationships on this record are counted rather than named here. They open with the full profile.

Click any name or line for the deals and sources behind it. Line weight is deals together; dashed lines are inferred.

Reading the network
  • Service provider
  • Fund or vehicle
  • Person
›How strength and recency are read

Strength is read from the deals: three or more is a strong observed relationship, two a repeat counterparty, one a single interaction. People and vehicles are structural. Nothing is scored that a reader cannot check.

Darker lines were active in the last 24 months or are current; lighter lines are older or undated.

Routes are published by the person or the firm (their bio, the team page or a filing) and are revealed on a plan; data bought from a provider is never shown, and a route printed at a firm the person has since left is held back.
