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 talk

Reported IPO preparations or talks. Not a filing and not priced.

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 and Series A (before 2014); debt and credit facilities (including a 2026 bank facility); acquisitions made by SeatGeek (TopTix, FanSnap).

Updates & corrections

This page stays at one address and is updated in place; the “Last updated” date above drives the citation and the dataset metadata. Corrections: hello@growthnavigatefunding.net. Informational only; not investment advice.
