FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor.

Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (74 of 649 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded Series C startups is dated Sep 2026.
