What FundraiseBase is

FundraiseBase is a free record of startup funding rounds, published by Linkko Tech, the company behind MediaBoost. It lists rounds announced by private companies, with the amount, the stage, the investors and the sources each round comes from, along with company, investor, country and edition pages built from the same data.

How rounds are collected

Rounds are gathered every day from public sources: company announcements and press releases, news coverage and official filings. They are collected and checked partly with automated tools and partly by hand.

Final closes, extensions, debt, grants and rounds without a disclosed amount are left out. When a figure mixes new money with debt or the sale of existing shares, only the new equity is counted when the source states it.

Accuracy

The data may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Sources can be wrong, can disagree with each other or can change after publication, and automated tools can misread them. Amounts, dates, stages, investors, countries and company details can all contain mistakes, and some rounds are missing.

The information is provided as is, without any warranty of accuracy, completeness or fitness for a purpose. It is not investment, financial, legal or tax advice. Check the original source before relying on it. Amounts are converted to US dollars at the rate of the announcement date and are rounded.

Corrections and removals

If a round is wrong, incomplete or should not be listed, contact FundraiseBase with a link to the page and the correct information or source. We review every request and update or remove the round when it is justified.

Using the data

You are welcome to quote and share individual rounds, charts and pages, with a link back to the FundraiseBase page they come from. Copying the database in bulk, or reselling it, needs our permission first.

Advertising and sponsors

FundraiseBase may carry advertising to stay free. Sponsored content appears on the site and in the newsletters, The Daily Raise and The Weekly Raise, and is always marked as a sponsor. Sponsors have no say over which rounds are listed or how they rank.

Names and logos

Company and investor names and logos belong to their owners. They are shown only to identify who raised and who invested, and do not imply any endorsement or partnership.

Privacy

There is no account to create and no form to fill in to use the site. We do not sell personal data.

Visits are counted in aggregate with DataFast, a privacy-friendly analytics service, to know which pages are read and where visitors come from. Your choice of light or dark theme is stored in your own browser and is not sent to us.

If you subscribe to a newsletter, your email address is used only to send it, and every email has a link to unsubscribe at any time.

People named on FundraiseBase

Rounds can name founders, executives and individual investors, as published in the company's announcement or in the press. If you are named and object to it, or the information about you is wrong, contact FundraiseBase and we will correct it or remove your name.

Third-party services

The site is hosted on Vercel and visit statistics go through DataFast. These services receive the technical data any web request carries, such as your IP address and browser, under their own privacy policies. Fonts are served from FundraiseBase itself.

Links

FundraiseBase links to company websites, press articles and filings. We are not responsible for the content of those sites or for how they handle your data.

Liability

FundraiseBase is provided free of charge. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or decision made on the basis of the information it shows.

Changes

These terms may change as the site evolves. The latest version is always on this page.
