In the news

Headlines come from the GDELT Project's open news index, venture outlets' feeds and firms' own sites. A headline is tied to a firm or company only with evidence: the outlet is its own site, the article links to its domain, or a model judged the headline against what the record says the firm or company does. Names made of everyday words always need the domain. Only the headline and the link are given: the article belongs to its outlet. Headlines from GDELT carry attribution; cite it where you show them.

kind is round, fund, exit, people, product or other. Round headlines come in the unfiltered lists, as headlines only: VCinfo does not read amounts out of them, and round is not a filter. Funding data is Fundup AI's.
