About the FundedIQ Uganda startup funding data
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 (1 of 9 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 Uganda is dated Jun 2026.
