The citable dataset
Fusion42 in numbers
Fusion42 tracks the early-stage market as it moves: the funds that just raised on Raise, the startups they back on Scout, every funding round with its announcement source cited, and the day's startup news decoded on Wire. The figures below are computed live from that public database — they update as the dataset grows, and each carries a stable anchor so a citation always points at the current number.
As of the latest refresh, the dataset holds 657 venture funds, 475 startups and 451 funding rounds totalling $6.3B in announced capital, across 52 countries. The most recent round was announced on 18 July 2026, and the most recent story decoded on 18 July 2026 — freshness is part of the dataset, not a claim.
