Where this comes from. Every row is a funding round FlightBrief has reported, or has logged from the company's announcement or a filing, which its note links; it is not a census of every round in the market. Figures are shown as announced; the US dollar column converts them at the European Central Bank's reference rates of Oct 9, 2026, one rate for every row, for comparison only. Initial public offerings and pre-IPO raises are listed but kept out of the private-round totals above the table. Each round appears once, however many articles mention it.
