How Shield works

Shield is an information-only due-diligence tool. We surface public records about sponsors of private market investments so investors can read them in one place.

Shield does NOT:

Every claim in a Shield report includes a direct citation to the source record. If we can't cite it, it doesn't ship.

Important: Shield Reports aggregates publicly available records from official sources. Every claim in a Shield report includes a direct citation. Shield Reports does not provide legal, financial, or investment advice. Shield Reports does not recommend, approve, endorse, or disapprove of any sponsor, deal, or investment. All interpretation is the sole responsibility of the customer. A Shield report is not a consumer report under the FCRA and may not be used for purposes covered by the FCRA. Source coverage varies by jurisdiction — see methodology page for current scope and limitations.
