I am in this space. Most funds don’t have “fund” in the name. And there is a lot of double counting that will happen with this method because you will have collections of GPs, funds, SPVs, co-invests, feeders, et cetera.

A better data source would be Pitchbook or the VCFA.

Agree with your broader point but have the stupidest point to persecute (arabic vs roman numerals) -- anecdotally seeing a lot of our investor base raise their next funds (all VCs) they have all been roman numeral named for some reason. Is this an east coast vs west coast thing or is it just a luck of the draw thing
