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.
IPO filing
A registration statement or prospectus filed with a regulator. It is Status, not a priced IPO; nothing is treated as a closed valuation.
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
Seed to Series C rounds (2013–2018), debt facilities, and secondary-market price estimates.
