›How strength and recency are read
Co-investors are read from the rounds: three or more shared rounds is a strong observed relationship, two a repeat co-investor, one a single round. Funds and people 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.

What these amounts meanGAV is the gross asset value the adviser reported on Form ADV for the vehicle, never the fund’s committed size and never dry powder.

What these amounts and dates areEach commitment is counted once across the pension tape and the allocator graph. A commitment date prints only when the source printed one; otherwise the row carries the report date. A foundation’s 990-PF line is a holding at fair value, never a commitment. Rows without a fund on the venture graph are commitments to this manager.| Allocator | Type | Fund | Amount | Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vinik Family Foundation | FOUNDATION | 500 Global Spv I, L.P. | $226,025 fair value on the foundation's return | reported as of Dec 31, 2024 | Fact IRS Form 990 / 990-PF e-file returns |
