From public record to the pill you see.
We check how a VC fund deals with founders, using public sources you can open yourself. Every fact links to where it came from.
We pull the public record
Government lists, SEC filings, court dockets and named press for the fund, its advisers and its partners.
We confirm the match
An exact identity match, never name-only. Copycat names are left out.
We verify every source
A fact counts only if it links to the record, names the fund and shows its role.
You check before you sign
Open each check, follow the link to the original, save the fund and draw your own conclusions.
What we check
Legal records
Lawsuits by or against the fund, and its partners as directors, in US federal and state courts.
Court recordsRegulators & sanctions
Registration filings, enforcement actions, and government sanctions and restriction lists.
Government filings & listsPress
Named, dated reporting from established outlets. Anonymous-only claims don’t count.
News reportingPeople behind the fund
Partners and advisers named in filings, checked against the same records.
FilingsHow to read a check
Each check shows a pill, not a grade. A pill tells you what we found, then you open the source.
- Clear means we found nothing in the sources we checked. It is not a guarantee.
- Review means there is a record worth reading. Counts show how many.
Principles
- Exact matches only. Copycat names are excluded.
- A suit the fund brought is shown differently from one brought against it.
- A lawsuit or probe is not a finding of wrongdoing.
- Where a source has no data, we say so instead of guessing.
