Question 1

How are firms ranked on this list?

Accepted Answer

This list is ranked by founding year, with older firms listed first. FundComb keeps headquarters, office presence and investment geography as separate signals, so a headquarters list and an office list can show different results.

Question 2

Which firms count as being in San Francisco?

Accepted Answer

Firms with at least one recorded office in the San Francisco metropolitan area, matched from office addresses and coordinates FundComb has collected. A firm headquartered elsewhere still appears when it keeps a local office, and United States-wide coverage is on the United States lists.

Question 3

What does estimated FUM mean?

Accepted Answer

Estimated funds under management is a guide to the size of a venture manager. Estimates may be older or minimum amounts, and missing currencies are assumed to be USD and flagged for an update. Known currencies are preserved and compared in USD using a shared, dated exchange-rate snapshot. The reported AUM, commitments and fund-size views use separate, more specific figures. Detailed sources and dates are on each investor profile.

Question 4

How often is this list updated?

Accepted Answer

Profiles update as FundComb ingests public filings, fund websites, official announcements and manual review notes. Rankings can change when new evidence is approved or older data is cleaned.

Question 5

Does an office mean the firm invests locally?

Accepted Answer

An office establishes physical presence only. The investment-evidence view uses stated country mandates or named venture rounds within three years. Founder-linked mandates and dated deals are labelled separately in each source record. Neither proves the firm is currently accepting investments or that all its capital is allocated locally.
