A note on the numbers

Capital totals use the best disclosed figure from credible press or PitchBook, and exclude corporate divisions that did not disclose standalone funding (IBM Watson Health, Microsoft Tay, Galactica, GitHub Copilot Voice, several others). Lifespans are computed from founding month to shutdown date. Anything else worth knowing about a specific number is noted on the entry itself. We document conflicts when our number differs from another credible source.
