- Corpus (as reported)
- Fund III ~US$95–100M (launched 2022) — consistent with the firm's "Fund III, launched in 2022" language. The firm's OWN site states it has invested "across three funds," so the record's earlier claim of a fourth fund / "Fund IV ~US$110M" is NOT supported and has been removed as unconfirmed. The firm does not publish a consolidated AUM figure.
