What matters now
- 8 companiesnew in 12 months
8 new companies in the last 12 months. Latest round Blacksmith Series C ($66M round) on Oct 21, 2026.

- 1 companyportfolio raising
One portfolio company has new financing on record in 6 months without this firm named on the round; the latest on Aug 28, 2026 ($550M sold on Form D).
A portfolio company raising again is a follow-on decision for the firm and a co-investment opening for others.
- 1 departurepeople, 12 months
A team member departed (seen on or before Oct 19, 2026, the day it happened is not on record).
A partner leaving or arriving changes who decides, and who a founder or LP should call.

From financing rounds and every investor named in them, Form ADV and Form D filings, the firm's funds and team, and disclosed LP commitments in the venture capital graph. A round's amount is the size of the round, not money that moved between two investors.
4 mentions in the sources could not be matched to a firm or person, so they are held back from the picture and its summary.

›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.
How am I connected? Published routes
Name your firm, a company or a person, and DFX finds the published routes to GV: a shared portfolio company or board, a prior employer, a co-investor, a shared LP or service provider. Every step is a filed or published record with its source; none is a guess about who knows whom.
Public record only. For routes through people you know, see Who can introduce you.

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.

Funds and vehicles
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. Form D sold is the amount sold as of the latest filing, never a final close.Limited partners
Known LPs and allocators
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.Relationships across DFX
