Startup funding reports
Every month, the startup funding rounds we reported, added up: how many, how much was disclosed, which stages, sectors and cities, and the investors who did the most deals. India is broken out separately. The data is free to download and reuse.

Monthly reports
Using the data
Each report has a CSV with every round: date, company, amount (as reported and in US dollars), stage, lead and other investors, sector, place and a link to our brief, which names the original sources. Journalists, researchers and founders are welcome to use it; please credit StartupReader with a link to the report.
The numbers come from the funding briefs we publish, so they reflect what was reported, not every round that happened: treat totals as a floor. Listed-company capital raises such as IPOs and QIPs are left out. For the week as it happens, see the weekly funding roundup.
