About the FundedIQ Texas 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 1,628 funded startups in Texas currently tracked. Round counts, capital totals and the median round are computed over a trailing 24 months. Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (171 of 741 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 Texas is dated Sep 2026.
