Kingy Intelligence · Evidence-led capital tracking
AI Capital Flow Map
See where publicly announced AI capital is moving—by company, stage, investor, AI layer, and geography—with direct source links and totals that expose mega-round distortion.
Read the distortion
Mega-rounds account for 0.0% of disclosed company capital in this view.
That concentration matters. The headline total can look explosive even when the median company is raising far less. Kingy always shows both the full amount and the total excluding rounds of $100 million or more.
Where the money is going
Capital by AI layer
Dollars use only records eligible for totals. Event count still captures reviewed undisclosed rounds.
Source-linked ledger
Capital events
1 matching reviewed event. Filters update both the ledger and the headline metrics.

Methodology before marketing
What counts—and what does not
Version 2026-08-31 · Every public row links to its primary evidence.
AI must be core
AI must be necessary to the product, service, or investment mandate—not merely used internally or mentioned in marketing.
Dollars need a defensible basis
Only published or corrected, AI-core-included, verified or corroborated events with disclosed amounts and an amount basis of new capital or confirmed total round enter dollar totals.
Fund formation stays separate
Qualifying AI-mandated fund closes have their own ledger and never inflate company-financing totals.
Distortion is visible
Every view reports capital with and without rounds of at least $100 million.
Included
- Priced or unpriced equity

Known limitations
Announcements can be delayed, incomplete, ambiguous, or absent. Public English-language discovery creates geographic and source bias. Announced capital is not the same as cash received, revenue, adoption, or product quality.
Follow the flow
A dataset is useful. Interpretation makes it actionable.
Kingy’s weekly brief will call out category concentration, unusually large rounds, and what capital movement may mean for builders and operators.
