Investor participation, Q4 2024

Investors ranked by rounds they appear in at all, lead or otherwise. A different question from the lead table, and a weaker denominator.

Only 1 of 11 rounds in the quarter carry an investor list. Disclosed round value is the size of the rounds an investor appears in, NOT the amount that investor put in — we do not hold per-investor allocations and will not infer them.

Absence from the lookback window means we recorded no lead credit for that investor, not that the firm was inactive.

Methodology

Every figure is a count or a sum over the FundingRound table joined to the company profile. No estimate, model or projection is used anywhere in this release.
A round is attributed to the quarter its announced date falls in, in UTC.
A round counts toward an investor only when that investor is recorded as the LEAD. Participation without a lead credit is not counted, because we do not hold complete participant lists and a partial one would rank the wrong firms.
Rounds with an undisclosed amount are counted in the round count and contribute $0 to totals. Totals are therefore a floor, never an estimate.
Ranking is by rounds led, descending; ties break on disclosed total, then on investor name (A–Z), so the table is reproducible.
"New to the table" means the investor led no recorded round in the previous four quarters. It is a statement about our records, not about the firm.

What this edition can and cannot see

Coverage limits travel with the numbers, here and in every export of them.

This edition sees 11 rounds recorded for the quarter, of which 11 disclosed an amount. Totals are a floor, not an estimate.
4 of 11 rounds name a lead investor (36.4%). Every lead ranking on this page is computed over that subset only.
1 of 11 rounds carry a wider investor list. The participation table is computed over that subset, and it is the weaker of the two attributions.
Our round coverage is built from regulatory filings, company announcements and cited press coverage. It is not a census of the market, and an investor absent from a table may simply be absent from our records for that quarter.
Sector is taken from the company profile as it stands today, so a company that changed sector is reported under its current one in every quarter.
Every figure on this page is a count, a sum, a median or a ratio over our own rows. Nothing is model-generated, estimated or projected.
