Leading is the scarce act. Across 50,405 participations on file, 5,776 — 11.5% — are recorded as a lead. The rest are funds joining a round somebody else priced.

444 funds have both led a round and invested in real-world assets. If you are raising, these are the names that can actually run a process; everyone else is waiting to hear who the lead is.

Read the co-investor list on each fund's profile alongside this. A lead pulls the same followers in round after round, so the fastest warm path to a lead is usually somebody who has already ridden along with them.
