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.
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 funding, and the January 2025 reports of SoftBank negotiating a $500M investment at about $4B (Bloomberg/FT via TechCrunch), which were talks rather than a closed round.
