About the data
Placement agents. Firms that venture capital funds named on Form D as paid to sell their offerings (the form’s sales compensation item), in every filing through 2026-09-30. Firms only: a recipient counts as the broker-dealer it is associated with, by that firm’s CRD number, or under its own name when it has a CRD number and the name is a business’s; individuals are never listed. A fund is an offering by a pooled investment fund that calls itself a venture capital fund; funds registered under the Investment Company Act, single-deal vehicles, feeders, and series are left out, and parallel vehicles of one fund count once. Listed firms were named by at least 2 venture funds on filings since 2015. Funds served counts every venture fund that named the firm since 2008; recent means on a filing since 2021-09-30. The median is of what those funds reported raising. States are the ones the firm solicited in for the most funds, when a filing named states and not all of them. Being named here means a fund reported paying the firm; it is not a recommendation, and a firm may sell far more than venture funds. As of September 30, 2026. Source: SEC Form D data sets.
Organizations only: no individuals are listed. A listing is a public record, not a recommendation.
Data feed: every capital source as CSV.
