Sources
Crunchbase news, TechCrunch funding tag, Pitchbook where accessible, SEC Form D filings, company press releases, founder/firm X & LinkedIn posts as confirmation only.
A round needs at least one primary source (Form D, press release, or verified founder/firm post). Pure rumor entries excluded.
Filters
Re-announcements (same round previously reported), rumored / TBA without filing, undisclosed-amount bridge rounds, below min_round_usd, off-topic verticals.
Per-round fields
Company: [name]
What they do: [one sentence, plain English]
Round: Seed / Series A / etc. — $XM at $YM post if disclosed
Lead: [firm]
Other participants: [firm1, firm2]
Source: [primary link]
Why it matters:
- Why now (named catalyst — model breakthrough, regulatory clarity, etc.)
- Who else is in the space (2-3 competitors by name)
- One sharp risk
Output
Group by vertical, lead with the headline (biggest round or theme of the week). Show "Filtered out" footer (rumored, re-announced, below floor) so the operator can see what's excluded.
Rules
- Primary source required.
- "Why it matters" must include a catalyst, not just sector framing. "AI is hot" is not a catalyst.
- Risk section mandatory and specific — never "execution risk" filler.
- Bias toward rounds that change the structure of a category, not just the leader.
