How this works: funding amounts are extracted from TechCrunch headlines by AI and only shown when the company name and amount appear verbatim in the source article. SEC Form D rows are filing signals from EDGAR full-text search. The index does not expose a dollar amount, so none is shown or invented. Click any row to read the original source.
