Sources

Where our LP data comes from

LPbacked aggregates LP data from multiple public and proprietary sources, cross-referenced against each other before any record reaches the database. No single source is complete — our advantage is the combination.

SEC EDGAR

Form D filings for every private placement offering; Form ADV registrations for all SEC-registered investment advisers. Updated as filings are submitted.

IRS Form 990 & 990-PF

Annual financial returns for university endowments, private foundations, and nonprofit investors — revealing AUM, investment income, and key officers. Via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer.

National regulatory filings

Investment adviser and fund manager registrations across 133 countries — FCA (UK), BaFin (Germany), AMF (France), MAS (Singapore), and others.

Public AUM disclosures

Sovereign wealth fund reports, pension fund annual reports, endowment financial statements, and public filings that report investment assets and allocation strategies.

Company websites & press releases

Official LP websites, team pages, and press releases for personnel changes, fund commitments, and investment mandate updates.

Research team

In-house researchers identify and verify LP profiles not captured by automated sources — particularly smaller family offices and regional investors.

Verification

How we verify contact data

Sourcing LP records is the easy part. Keeping them accurate is the real work. Investment team composition changes constantly — people leave funds, join new firms, get promoted, retire. We run three verification layers:

01
Email deliverability monitoring

We continuously send verification pings to detect bouncing addresses. When an email starts returning hard bounces, we flag the record for manual review within 48 hours.

02
Quarterly systematic reverification

Every LP record in the database is reverified at minimum every 90 days — cross-checking current employment, title, and contact information against multiple sources. High-priority records (AUM > $1B) are checked monthly.

03
Change signal monitoring

We monitor SEC filings, press releases, and LinkedIn for personnel change signals. When a key investment professional leaves a firm, we flag and update their record within 30 days.

Standards

What data we include and exclude

We include

  • LPs with confirmed institutional mandate (minimum $10M AUM for most categories)
  • Investment professionals in decision-making roles for alternatives allocation
  • Organizations with verifiable track record of LP investing in private funds
  • Business email addresses (not generic inbox addresses)
  • Current employment — records are removed when professionals leave without a verified new position

We exclude

  • LPs who have publicly ceased investing in private markets
  • Generic or shared email addresses (info@, contact@)
  • Individuals who have left the LP organization without a verified replacement
  • Unverifiable or single-source records without cross-reference confirmation
  • Personal contact information — only business contacts in professional capacity
Public Filings

SEC & IRS filing data

In addition to LP contact profiles, LPbacked indexes three categories of public filing data — each cross-referenced with LP profiles to provide context:

Privacy & Compliance

How we handle data responsibly

LPbacked only includes business contact information for investment professionals in their professional capacity. All contact information is sourced from publicly available professional information — the same information available on a firm's own website, SEC filings, or professional directories.

We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and applicable privacy regulations. Investment professionals can request removal of their contact information by emailing privacy@lpbacked.com. Users of LPbacked agree to use data only for lawful business development purposes, not for mass marketing or data resale.
