    on Form D, 18 months

    1 vehicle filed a Form D in the last 18 months, the latest Copper Sky Capital II on 6 May 2026. Largest offerings: Copper Sky Capital II $300M.

    A Form D is filed when a vehicle takes its first money, so these are open to LPs now.

    portfolio raising

    3 portfolio companies have new financing on record in 6 months without this firm named on the round; the latest on 23 Jul 2026 ($300M round).

Relationship network

83 connected entities6 observed rounds1 repeat counterparty2 dated rounds shown here, 2024 to 2025

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.

Some relationships on this record are counted rather than named here. They open with the full profile.

Click any name or line for the rounds and sources behind it. Line weight is rounds together; dashed lines are inferred.

Reading the network
  • Sponsor
  • Company
  • Fund or vehicle
  • Person
›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?

Name your firm, a company or a person, and DFX finds the published routes to Az-Vc, LLC: 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.

The ledger records every merge, rename and reclassification this record went through and the dated filings observed on it, so the identity on this page can be traced to the records it was built from. The ledger's own sentences name other records, so they show with the names.
