How the maps are made

Every company on a map is one we have seen raise money; nothing is copied from anyone else's map.

  1. Picked from our roundsA startup joins a map when its sectors, read from its rounds, or the opening of its own description say it works in that market.
  2. Placed by what it doesIt goes to the first segment whose words it carries, so each company sits in one segment only.
  3. Rebuilt every nightNew rounds and new companies join as we record them; a map under 10 startups comes down.
