Founders and investors

Who backs whom

3180 investors, 697 companies and 1442 founders on Anchor Terminal, joined by the rounds their sources name.

How the connections are made

  • An investor and a company are joined where a source names the investor in one of the company's rounds: the company's announcement, the investor's own page, a public filing or a news report. The source is on the investor's page, beside the company.
  • A founder and a company are joined by the people a listing names, with the listing's own sources.
  • A partner at a firm is joined to a company only where the firm's own page or the round's announcement names that person with that company. The link to the page is beside the name.
  • An angel investor and a founder with the same name are joined as one person only where a source names the investor together with the founder's company. The same name is not enough, so some pairs that are one person stay apart.
  • "Invests beside" and "the same backers" are counts over those links: two investors that backed two or more of the same companies, two founders whose companies share two or more investors.

Nothing here is a judgement of anyone. An investor isn't a sign of quality, and a connection is only that two names share a source. To correct a link or have a page removed, write to privacy@anchorterminal.com.

The links as data

/graph/graph.json has every investor with the companies it backed and each link's sources, every company with its listings and founders, the 1115 partner links with the page each comes from, and the 151 investors that are also a person's page. Each investor's and person's page has the same links in its Markdown and JSON twins.
