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.

Tender

A sale of existing shares (employee tender, secondary or buyback). It brings no new primary capital, so it is Status, 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

Seed funding (2017–2018), grants, Uber’s milestone-based commitment as a separate row, and commercial deals such as compute or robotaxi agreements.
