DFX Intelligence
Venture Capital Intelligence
Firms, funds, partners, companies and rounds from sworn filings, firm sites and announcements, kept as a graph with a date and a source on every edge. Facts, inferences and estimates are labelled as such. A fund target is never a close, GAV is never dry powder, and a round size is never an investor’s check.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lv2 LP Vestmark Series 9, LLC | Fund | 2016 form d first sale | Harvest | $16.7M Mar 27, 2024 | 10 | $11.7M of $11.7M | Nov 17, 2016 |

GAV is the gross asset value the adviser reported on Form ADV for the vehicle, never the fund’s committed size and never dry powder. Form D sold is the amount sold as of the latest filing, never a final close.
