About the FundedIQ Asia startup funding data
FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding
date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor. The dataset is refreshed weekly, and
new rounds are normalised and de-duplicated before they are published, so the same round
reported twice on different dates is recorded once.
Figures on this page cover the 6,909 funded startups in Asia currently tracked.
Round counts, capital totals and the median round are computed over a trailing 24 months.
Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (796 of 3,188 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded startups in Asia is dated Aug 2026.
The table above shows the 100 most recently funded companies. Full funding histories,
investor lists and founder contacts across the whole dataset open on a FundedIQ plan.
