Every figure here is what a news outlet reported, not a verified or audited number, and outlets sometimes disagree about the same round. Rounds tagged “rumoured” are unconfirmed reports and are excluded from the i-Index entirely. This page is general information — not investment advice, and not a recommendation of any company on it.
