DFX Intelligence
Private Equity Intelligence
Firms, funds, people, portfolio companies and transactions from sworn filings and cited announcements, kept as a graph with a date and a source on every edge. Reported gross assets are never fund size, regulatory AUM is never dry powder, and a deal value prints only when someone disclosed it.
Platforms
Companies being built by acquisition
A platform is a company a sponsor acquired and then bought other companies into. A company is listed here once the record shows it as a platform investment or as the platform named on an add-on. Counts are what has been collected, not a full history. The platforms that pass the buy-and-build tests, with their observed thesis, are on the overview.
