About the data
A fund counts as venture when its manager is in the fund index or the venture adviser directory, or, on a foundation’s return, when it is named as a venture fund; funds are linked to managers by name, and a match can be wrong. An LP is “still adding venture funds” when its latest report shows a fund from the last three years or one that wasn’t on the report before. Each LP’s page says what its amounts are and how old its report is. Organizations only: no individuals are listed.
