General Atlantic Investments Report

Build a filtered, normalized target book of General Atlantic's published investments, with a link to GA's own page behind every company.

Built for deal sourcing, competitive mapping and BD teams who need a workable list.

Coverage is the headline, not the footnote

Every report states, in the record and on the first line of the brief:

universe_total       406     investments General Atlantic publishes
companies_examined   150     investments this run actually read
coverage_complete    false
coverage_caveat      "maxCompanies=150 bounded the sweep to the first 150 of 406"

A company missing from a partial book has not been ruled out — it was never read. Raise maxCompanies toward 406 for a complete book; budget about a minute per 120 investments.

Three things measured live that a naive read gets wrong

1. /investments/ serves 24 of 406, and its pagination is fake

The page is server-rendered and its 24 rows are real. But GA publishes 406 investments, and every attempt to page or filter returns the identical first 24 — control vs test, 2026-07-31:

/investments/                    -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas
/investments/page/2/             -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas
/investments/page/3/             -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas
/investments/page/17/            -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas
/investments/page/18/            -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas
/investments/?sector=technology  -> 24 rows, first = Grupo Águilas

The server ignores both. This actor never reads that page, and offers no filter that depends on it — selling a parameter the source discards is selling a lie.

2. The list API carries no attributes

/wp-json/wp/v2/investment returns all 406 with title, slug, canonical link and dates — but acf is [] and no taxonomy is registered for the investment type. Sector, region and year invested exist only on each investment's own page, so the book is built list-then-detail.

3. An optional field sits in the middle of the record row

Company | Description | Sector | Region | Year Invested
<description> | [View Site] | <sector> | <region> | <year>

View Site is present on some companies and absent on others. A parser that counts positions from the header is off by one on every company without a website link — it reports the region as the sector. Values are located by anchoring on the four-digit year and walking backwards, and both traps are asserted against verbatim excerpts of live pages.

What this source does not carry

Exit status is not available. Year Exited appears on the 24-row listing but on no individual investment page, so a 406-company book cannot state it. This actor does not guess one, and says so in every report rather than leaving you to assume every company is still held.

Filters

filter	what it does
sectors	Technology, Financial Services, Consumer, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Energy Transition
regions	United States, EMEA, China, Latin America, India, Southeast Asia
yearInvestedFrom / yearInvestedTo	year range, 2000–2026 in the measured corpus
nameContains	free text across company name and GA's own description
maxCompanies	how much of the 406 to read — default 150, a partial sweep

Filtering runs here, over parsed fields, because the site's own filter is measurably ignored. Every parameter therefore provably changes the result set, proven control-vs-test in the suite.

Each report returns vocabularies_in_examined_set — the sectors and regions counted from the investments this run read, not a hard-coded list. (For the record: GA's own site navigation lists an Infrastructure sector, and no investment in the 406 carries it.)

Output

• one investment record per match — name, description, sector, region, year invested, and the GA URL it came from
• one investments_report record — the filter, coverage numbers, vocabularies
• one source_receipt — terminal, HTTP statuses, request counts, pacing
• a rendered markdown brief in the key-value store

Reading policy

generalatlantic.com/robots.txt is a zero-byte file — no rules at all. This actor paces itself at 2 requests/second anyway, with a contact User-Agent. The rate is not an input.
