Startups Database

Every startup, and how well we know it.

854raised in the last 30 days

948,383 companies in 228 countries. 16,709 of them we watched raise, from a dated announcement or their own filing; the rest we know exist and what they do. Most directories flatten those two claims into one row. This one keeps them apart.

How well we know them

16,709watched raise
  • 16,709 watched raise a dated round from a named source or filing
  • 228,920 listed with reported funding a list says it raised; we have not seen it
  • 702,754 listed only we know it exists and what it does

A listed company moves to watched the moment a filing or announcement confirms it, never the other way round. No funding figure ever shows against a company we have only been told about.
