No funding round on record names Cultiv8 Funds Management yet, so the figures come from its portfolio page.

Round figures show recent activity, not Cultiv8 Funds Management's whole history. Rounds on record name 0 companies; its own site lists 12. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
