Your fit with CIV
Four questions about your startup
See how your round matches what it backs, point by point.
Or find every investor that fitsCIV lists 23 checked portfolio companies on its own site and is named in 10 funding rounds, 3 of them as lead. Its most frequent entry is Seed, 60% of the companies with a known first round. Its largest themes are AI & Machine Learning (23%), Education (19%) and Industrial & Manufacturing (19%). 80% of its companies are based in United States. It invests most often alongside Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital and Override.
Counts come from funding rounds that name CIV, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.
Round figures show recent activity, not CIV's whole history. Rounds on record name 10 companies; its own site lists 23. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
