Expanded company types and funding sources simplify identifying relevant firms
Our fall release provides more detailed funding sources and expanded company types, viewed on the company details page and accessible through searches. Funding sources have now been broken out from the VC umbrella to include venture capital, private equity, angel group, accelerator and corporate investor. In addition, companies that have filed for but not completed their IPO are now broken out from Public companies as “IPO Filed“.
In the past, we’ve used “active” both as a company type (two rounds or more of funding) and to indicate that a company is still “active” and doing business. With this release, the term “active” refers only to a company’s status as in business or out of business. Companies that have 2 or more rounds of funding are now labeled as “Later Stage”. There are nine company types, displayed on company details pages and searchable in advanced search. They include:
New company that is releasing limited information.
Funded company that has raised its 1st round.
Funded company that has raised its 2nd or later rounds.
Company has filed for but not completed its IPO.
