An announcement gives the size of the round, not the size of this investor's cheque: the only rounds that imply a cheque are those where they were the sole named investor.

What they claim to have backed

Who they invest alongside

The investors most often in the same rounds as Chemistry. A count of rooms they were both in, not a relationship either has claimed.
