Methodology & status definitions
How each row is labelled and calculated.
Closed round
A primary round announced by the company or confirmed in the press, bringing new money to the company.
Reported talks
A raise reported by the press as under discussion and not confirmed as closed. Not charted, not the last-closed valuation; no step-up or multiple.
Valuation ÷ run-rate
Post-money valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). Where the run-rate is “crossed” or “over” a figure, the multiple is shown as “under X×”. No row qualifies here unless shown, so no multiple is invented.
What is not a separate row
The reported $350M pre-IPO financing led by Mubadala Capital (January 2026 talks per DatacenterDynamics; reported as convertible notes, not a priced round), GPU-backed debt facilities, and NVIDIA lease-back or customer contracts.
