What these pages cover
Presspool records the lead investors of each round, as the company's announcement or the confirming outlets name them, and the other investors the round's entry names. Each page lists the rounds that investor led on Presspool's record: every weekly AI startup funding roster, and the latest round of each company on a niche map. Each also lists the rounds whose entry names that investor without it leading. None is an investor's full portfolio. An investor that led one round on the record is named on that company's page.
