About the FundedIQ Series A startup funding data in China
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
