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.

Reading this profile

A class with state confirmed rests on the manager’s own SEC filing claiming the venture capital fund adviser exemption and reporting venture funds. Probable rests on one sworn fact. Candidate rests on a name or a mention.

Nothing on this page is a fund size, a check size or dry powder unless the source said it in those words.
