Startup and venture data

Startup and venture data tracks young, high-growth companies and the capital behind them: founding dates, funding rounds, investors, accelerators, acquisitions and growth signals. Venture investors use it for deal sourcing and portfolio tracking, corporates for innovation scouting and partnerships, and sales teams to reach newly funded companies.

Typical fields:

• Startup name, domain, headquarters and founding year
• Sector and business model tags
• Funding rounds: date, stage, amount, currency
• Lead and participating investors
• Accelerator or program participation
• Headcount and web growth indicators
• Exit events: acquisition, IPO, shutdown

Sources and collection

Data is compiled from press releases, news, investor portfolio pages, regulatory filings and registry documents, accelerator cohort lists, company websites and submissions from founders and investors. Coverage depends heavily on how much a local ecosystem publicizes funding, so data is richest for major venture hubs and thinner elsewhere. Shutdowns are often detected late because companies rarely announce them.

Delivery and pricing

Sold as platform subscriptions with exports, bulk files and APIs. Pricing is usually per seat or per year, scaling with records exported, regions and API access. Academic and nonprofit pricing is sometimes available.

Before you buy

• Check coverage of the regions and sectors you invest in, not global totals.
• Ask how quickly new rounds appear after announcement.
• Confirm how undisclosed amounts and down rounds are recorded.
• Look for a status field that marks inactive and closed startups.
• Verify that the licence lets you use data in investment memos or reports.
