Reading the data
What is published
Only investors whose own site shows they invest, and only companies whose own site answers and carries their name. Everything else is held back, so a missing firm or company says nothing about whether it exists.
Stated and observed
declared is what a firm says about itself: stages, sectors, geographies. observed is what its checked portfolio and funding rounds show. Quote them apart: a firm's stated thesis never raises an observed number.
Evidence for a portfolio link
confidence | Meaning |
|---|---|
declared | Listed on the firm's own portfolio page. |
verified | On the portfolio page, and a funding round names the firm. |
strong | Several independent sources agree. |
source says where the link came from: portfolio_page or funding_round.
Company status
status | Meaning |
|---|---|
active | The site answers and carries the company's name. |
unreachable | The site failed three checks in a row. Not proof of closure. |
parked | The domain shows a parked or for-sale page. |
exit_candidate | The site points to another company, often after an acquisition. redirect_target says where. |
exit_confirmed | A public source confirms an acquisition or listing. |
site_checked is false for a company whose site turns away automated reads, so its status could not be checked. It is listed because an investor's own portfolio page links to that domain.
Rates and their method
Rates such as exit_candidate_rate come with observation_start and a method_note. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality.
How funding rounds are used
Funding rounds that name a firm come from Fundup AI, complete from mid-2025. VCinfo uses them as evidence: to confirm a portfolio link, to see the stage a firm came in at and whether it led, and to count its activity. Credit Fundup AI when you cite those. The API gives no round amounts, totals raised, round histories or round feeds: funding data is Fundup AI's.
Facts about a company
Each fact in a company's profile has a value, its source, a source_url and an as_of date, from the company's own site or a public register.
