| Bison Ventures Fund 1, L.P. | April 2022 | $135M | $135M | 70 |
Amounts are Item 13 as filed: the target is the whole offering, and the amount sold is cumulative across amendments rather than a final close. The filing carries no per-investor amount, so a firm’s own cheque is not recoverable here.
2 partners are named across this firm’s filings, 2 of them on a fund it is deploying now.
| Partner | Activity | Categories | Board seats | Last 24mo |

| Tom Biegala | Slowing | AI & machine learning, Climate & energy | 2 | 1 |
Activity is filed board seats in the last 24 months: 4+ Active, 2–3 Selective, 1 Slowing, none Quiet. A firm's tier totals its partners, so an active firm may be four partners with one seat each. It undercounts partners who invest without taking a board seat, and filings lag a closing by weeks, so Quiet means the paperwork is quiet, not the person.
Classified sectors of Bison Ventures’s own portfolio companies, based on 3 with a verified or cited source.
Not a filing value: this is Lev’s own classification of each company, one company one vote regardless of how many of Bison Ventures’s partners are named on its board, shown only when we found a specific, checkable source. Companies with no source read as unclassified and are left out of the shares above.
No other firm shares a filed board seat with Bison Ventures yet. That is a gap in what we have read, not a claim that Bison Ventures invests alone.
A shared board seat: a company where filings name a Bison Ventures partner and a partner at the other firm, both with a clean identity match. Not a claim either firm led or co-led the round, only that both are named on the same board.
