About “Projected” Data
Crunchbase uses projections for global and U.S. trend
analysis.
Crunchbase bases these projections on historical
patterns in late reporting, which are most pronounced
at the earliest stages of venture activity.
Using projected data helps prevent undercounting or
reporting skewed trends that only correct over time.
All projected values are noted accordingly.

About “Reported” Data
Certain metrics, like mean and median reported
round sizes, were generated using only reported
data.
Unlike with projected data, Crunchbase calculates
these kinds of metrics based only on the data it
currently has.
All reported values are noted accordingly.

About Foreign Currencies
All funding values are given in U.S. dollars unless
otherwise noted.
Crunchbase converts foreign currencies to US dollars at
the prevailing spot rate from the date funding rounds,
acquisitions, IPOs, and other financial events are reported.
Even if those events were added to Crunchbase long after
the event was announced, foreign currency transactions
are converted at the historic spot price.
