How the lists are made

## Ranked by money, not by opinion

Every list comes from rounds we track ourselves, rebuilt every night. Nobody pays to be on one.

- **Picked by what they do** Companies join a sector list by the sectors of their own rounds, or a theme list when their description names it.
- **Ranked by what they raised** All-time funding for most lists, and money raised this year for the 2026 lists.
- **Only full lists go live** A list needs 10 or more companies, and one that mostly repeats another is left out.
