What just got funded

A private company selling stock must file a Form D within 15 days of the first sale. It lands in EDGAR whether or not anyone writes it up, which is why these numbers usually arrive weeks before the headline does. Every row below carries a Forbes Midas 100 investor as a named person on the filing.

Who is doubling down

The figure is how much a firm put into single-company vehicles in the last 90 days, and how many it opened. Separate from their main funds, firms set up a one-off vehicle to concentrate more money into a single company they already own. Regular numbered funds are counted separately and noted at the end of each line, because a fund family closing is business as usual, not conviction.

The target is rarely named, but the size always is. A Form D names the vehicle, not the company it is buying into. It does carry the dollar amount, which is the part you can act on: a firm quietly moving hundreds of millions through one vehicle is saying something whether or not it names the company. Some names do give it away, like Valor's compute infrastructure vehicle. The rest are opaque by design, which is itself worth knowing.
