Funding data you can act on the same day.

Where the data comes from

We follow 304 sources in 74 markets and 29 languages, listed in full below, plus 76 local-language news searches that pick up funding stories from outlets we do not follow directly.

They include startup and technology publications, business newspapers, regional startup media, investor and accelerator news pages, and press-release wires. We read each source's public feed or funding section, only where the publisher's robots.txt allows it, and never collect paywalled content.

How we process it

• Each funding story is read in full, whatever the language, and its details are recorded in English.
• We take the company, what it does, where it is based, the amount and currency, the stage, the lead and other investors, and the founders, using only what the source states. Anything not stated stays blank.
• Amounts in other currencies are converted to US dollars at the European Central Bank's reference rate on the day.
• We add the company's official links (website, LinkedIn, X, careers page). The funding details come only from the news reports.

How we check the date

Many sites re-post older deals days or weeks later with a new date. A round belongs to the day it was first announced, in the publisher's local time, so every new round is checked before it is published.

• A search model finds the earliest public report of the round, in English and in the local language.
• We then open that report ourselves and read its real publish date. The model's answer only counts if the page exists, names the company and carries that date.
• Large or unclear rounds get a second, independent check. Rounds that cannot be confirmed are held back.

How we curate it

• The same round reported by several outlets becomes one entry, with every report listed as a source.
• We include equity rounds raised by startups and private growth companies: pre-seed, seed, Series A onwards, growth and strategic investments.
• We leave out debt, grants, funds raised by investors, IPOs, acquisitions, secondary sales, private equity buyouts, rumours and talks, old rounds reported again, and reports that do not name the company.

How we analyse it

Once the day's rounds are curated, we analyse them: the total raised, the split by continent and market, the sectors and stages attracting money, the largest rounds and the most active investors.

The daily edition covers each day's rounds. The weekly, monthly and longer analyses look at how funding is shifting over time. Every day's data can be downloaded as a CSV, free.

What we may miss

Our coverage is only as complete as the news. Some rounds are never announced publicly, appear only on social media, or are reported only behind a paywall. Some details, such as the amount or the investors, are never disclosed and stay blank here.

If you know of a round we missed or got wrong, tell us and we will add or fix it.
