From the roles sources name this person in, the investments a source attributes to them, and the boards and funds Form D names them on.

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

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

Venture relationships are not scored. Each line names its claim: a round led or joined, a board seat or a filing that names the firm, a listing on a portfolio page (dated by when DFX saw it, never by when the investment was made), a disclosed LP commitment, or a co-investor pair counted from observed participations. Observed means a named source says so; Derived means DFX counted it from observed rows; Inferred means a match that may be wrong.

Darker lines were active in the last 24 months or are current; lighter lines are older or undated.
