Signals

The filings are public. These are the questions we answer with them — each one recomputed every time the records are rebuilt, each row carrying the filing it came from.

Due to raise a new fund

197

of 625 firms with a measurable rhythm

  • Every firm inside or past its own raise window, with the month its history points at. The signal that runs ahead of the filing.

Past due for a new fund

120

of 625 firms with a measurable rhythm

  • Firms whose last fund closed longer ago than their own typical gap between funds — where a raise usually starts.

Raising a first fund

601

first fund filed within 18 months

  • Firms managing outside capital for the first time, as far as the public record shows. No incumbent anything.
