Looking for someone to place your round?

Every fundraiser we have seen place a company round, with their deals, fees and the industries they work in.

How the table is made

Where do the numbers come from?

From the SEC's Form D data sets. A company raising privately files a Form D, and when a broker-dealer is paid to sell the round, the filing names it with its commission. We count each new filing once per firm named on it, and leave out amendments, funds and real estate. Insurance and investing filings are left out too: they are an insurer's policy accounts and investment vehicles, sold through dozens of firms at once, not companies raising a round.

Why is the latest quarter a quarter behind?

The SEC publishes the data sets quarterly, after the quarter closes. A quarter only appears here once its filings are in.

Can a firm change its place?

No. The table is computed from filings alone. A firm can claim its page and add to it, but cannot change what it placed.

What is the badge?

Firms in the overall top 10, or the top 3 of an industry, can show their standing on their own site with a badge from their page. It updates when the next quarter arrives.

What does it leave out?

Rounds where nobody was paid to sell, which is most venture rounds, and placements a firm makes without filing. A low rank is not a verdict on a firm; it is what the filings show.
