How we count
Rounds come from public announcements, each linked to its source on the Funding Tracker. Equity rounds only: debt, acquisitions and IPOs are left out. A round with no disclosed amount counts toward rounds but not dollars. Figures can change if a round is corrected or announced late. Spot something missing? Tell us. Full methodology.
