**How this roundup is made**

It is written from the rounds we read that week in named articles and filings. Only equity rounds with a stage count towards the figures; debt, grants and public companies' raises do not. We read more sources every month, so the number of rounds says more about our coverage than about the market: compare medians, not totals.
