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.

Climbing the wrong hill Come for the Eleven reasons to Full stack startups How Aristotle created How bundling benefits If you aren't RSS Strong and weak technologies The idea maze Why decentralization matters

Weaker than a round we watched, stronger than a list somebody sold us. A firm is far less willing to put a company on its own site that it never funded.
