How we know
Xcout Intel collects funding rounds from public filings and news, removes duplicates across sources, and keeps the source of each figure. A company is classed as AI from its own description.
Full figures: Capital tracker. How every report is built: methodology.
What this does not show
- Amounts are as reported in the sources linked from the report; they are not checked against filings. One announcement can be reported with different figures.
- The AI total is a floor: only rounds that carry an amount and whose company resolves to a sector are in it (42% of rounds).
- The table shows each company's largest single round, not its total raised.
