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.

Funds and vehicles

| Vehicle | Type | Vintage | Lifecycle | Reported GAV | Owners | Form D sold | Latest Form D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstraction Capital LP | Fund | unknown | Unknown | $21.2M Nov 20, 2024 | 47 | $0 of $20.0M | Dec 1, 2020 |
| Abstraction Capital II LP | Fund | unknown | Unknown | $8.3M Nov 20, 2024 | 14 | $0 of $15.0M | Jun 24, 2024 |
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.
