About the FundedIQ Virginia 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.

Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (52 of 222 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 Virginia is dated Aug 2026.
