What matters now

  1. 2 companies
    new in 12 months

    A firm writing cheques this quarter is one a founder can pitch now.

  2. 1 company
    portfolio raising

    One portfolio company has new financing on record in 6 months without this firm named on the round; the latest on 1 Sep 2026 ($8.59M sold on Form D).

    A portfolio company raising again is a follow-on decision for the firm and a co-investment opening for others.

  3. 1 round
    led by Buddy Arnheim

    Buddy Arnheim leads the most rounds on record: 1 round, latest Mesh Security Series A (28 Jan 2026).

Relationship network

6 connected entities2 observed roundsrounds 2026

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.

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
  • Person

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 Lobby Capital: 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.

  • Buddy Arnheim · Founding Partner
    Why this person: Founder of the firm; Named with investment responsibility; Led 1 round on record

Ranked by the role the firm or its filing states, a route on file and deals led. Every reason is read from the record, never inferred. 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.
