went into early‑stage AI this week. NeuroXess' $105M round was 9% of it.

Nov 2, 2026. A check against Crunchbase News's weekly and monthly "biggest funding rounds" lists (January 2024 – October 2026), used only as leads, added 11 Pre-Seed to Series B rounds the tracker had missed (among them Genspark's $275M Series B, Cowboy Space's $275M Series B, Armada's $230M Series B, Upscale AI's $190M Series A and Alembic's $145M Series B) and 44 later rounds (Series C onward) of tracked companies to the validation record. Every field comes from opened company, investor or press pages. Totals for the months of those 11 rounds rose; later rounds never enter totals.

Nov 2, 2026. July through December 2023 were swept with the same archive method and added 708 rounds announced in those months (547 at companies new to the tracker, 161 later rounds at tracked companies; $9.44B disclosed across 602 of them). January 2023 through May 2025 is now swept month by month with one method. Measured recall against the swept feeds is 69–87% per month; most misses are rounds held because no opened page stated their stage or headquarters country, so totals for the second half of 2023 are a floor. Figures for other periods are unchanged.

Nov 1, 2026. May and June 2023 were swept with the same archive method and added 144 rounds announced in those months ($2.22B disclosed across 120 of them). Measured recall against the swept feeds is 80–82% per month; most misses are rounds held because no page stated their stage or headquarters country. At the time, July through December 2023 had not yet been swept; figures for other periods are unchanged.

Nov 1, 2026. Coverage now starts in January 2023. January through April 2023 were swept with the same archive method and added 302 rounds announced in those months ($4.33B disclosed across 251 of them). Measured recall against the swept feeds is 83–95% per month. Rounds whose headquarters, stage, date, amount or AI scope could not be confirmed were left out. At the time, May through December 2023 had not yet been swept; figures for periods from January 2024 onward are unchanged.

Nov 1, 2026. Coverage now starts in January 2024. January 2024 through May 2025 were swept with the archive method: every article the fixed set of publications ran in each month was screened, and rounds were verified from the opened pages. This added 3,100 rounds announced in those 17 months (1,602 AI-native, 1,498 AI-enabled; $47.02B disclosed across 2,585 of them). Measured recall against the swept feeds is 91–98% per month. Rounds whose headquarters, stage, date or source could not be confirmed were left out. The all-time view now begins in January 2024; figures for periods from June 2025 onward are unchanged.

Oct 31, 2026. 32 more rounds announced in January and February 2026 were added after the operator resolved headquarters questions on rounds that had been held (January 2026: 219 → 236 rounds, $149.4M disclosed across 10 of the added rounds; February 2026: 281 → 296 rounds, $181.5M across 6). Totals for periods that include January or February 2026 rose; figures for other months are unchanged.

Oct 30, 2026. January and February 2026 were re-swept with the same archive method. It added 252 rounds announced in those months that had not been recorded (January 2026: 99 → 219 rounds, $1,850.8M disclosed across 93 of the added rounds; February 2026: 149 → 281 rounds, $2,531.2M disclosed across 102). Totals for periods that include January or February 2026 rose; figures for other months are unchanged.

Oct 30, 2026. August 2025 was re-swept with the archive method used for the backfill: every article the fixed set of publications ran that month was screened, and rounds were verified from the opened pages. It added 65 rounds announced in August 2025 that had not been recorded (August 2025: 155 → 220 rounds; $624.4M disclosed across 47 of them). Totals for periods that include August 2025 rose; figures for later months are unchanged.

Oct 19, 2026. A validation pass re-checked Series A and Series B rounds against their sources. It merged rounds that were stored twice, moved later-stage rounds (Series C onward) and rounds that had not completed out of the deal counts, set approximate or cumulative amounts to undisclosed, and moved rounds to the date of their first public report. Disclosed capital fell while round counts rose: China from $12.89B to $9.92B, and Robotics & Physical AI from $17.17B to $15.25B. Figures quoted before that date reflect the earlier data.

Press-led trackers often miss stealth seeds and quiet co-investments. We counter this with a targeted backfill of 40+ marquee firms across the US and India—including Sequoia, a16z, Peak XV, and Accel. Our latest sweep (Nov 2, 2026) included a global press audit and a Southeast Asia top-up across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia to ensure full coverage of the window. Note: while we capture Corporate VC (M12, Salesforce, NVentures) via primary press, direct sweeps for these arms are still in development.
