# SEC Form ADV

> Form ADV, the registry of every investment adviser the SEC oversees and the private funds each one manages: search advisers and funds by name, type, state, size and date, and read one in full.

Every firm that manages money for others in the United States files a
Form ADV with the Securities and Exchange Commission, either to register
or, for venture capital and private fund advisers, to report as an exempt
reporting adviser: who the firm is, where it sits, what it manages, how many
people it employs, and, on Schedule D, every private fund it advises with
its size, type, investors and auditor. a16z, Sequoia, Founders Fund and Y
Combinator are all here, fund by fund, signed by the firm.

The SEC's whole adviser roster, brought up to date every day, and every
private fund reported since 2011, brought up to date every month, organized
and ready to query. That is what makes a list of every venture fund over a
billion dollars, or every fund one firm manages with its Form D notices, a
single fast call.

<Note>
  The whole source, organized and ready to query: every endpoint on this page answers in milliseconds. Every response carries `as_of`: how current the data is. [How datasets work](/datasets).
