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
European Investment Bank €50M investment (announced Feb 2022; company gave $57M): EIB financing, in euros, not a venture equity round; not added to totals. Seed and Series A (2014–2020, including the founders’ own funding): not verified to an authority source in this pass.
