The story, chapter by chapter

Chapter 01 · The names

SoftBank appears most often

Counting how many tracked rounds each firm appears in, SoftBank leads with 11 rounds across 9 companies. Appearing in a round means participating in it — not leading it, and not the full cheque.

Chapter 02 · The stages

Most activity sits at Series D+

Investor appearances by round stage show where money concentrates in a company’s life. Today that is Series D+, with 83 appearances.

Chapter 03 · The sectors

Fintech draws the most backing

Grouping every investor appearance by the sector of the company they backed, Fintech leads. It is the clearest read on where conviction is pooling.

Ranked by number of tracked rounds an investor is named in. Participation is not the same as leading a round, and amounts shown elsewhere are the size of the whole round, not one investor’s cheque.
