Q&A

What does deploying mean here?

A firm is deploying when we have seen it named in a funding round in the last twelve months. It is an observation from announced rounds and filings, not a claim from the firm's website.

How is the list ordered?

By the cheques we have observed, then by name. Nobody can pay to move up, and having a logo never lifts a firm above one with more cheques.

Why only 25 here?

The top 25 are public. All 9,498 are in the app, with filters by stage, sector, market and cheque size. It is free.

How fresh is it?

Rounds are read every morning and activity is recomputed every night.
