Selected publicly announced AI financing; incomplete public-source coverage, not an estimate of all private capital, settledcash or global market share.
Calendar October1–31 announcement dates; last selected announcement October29. Sources reviewed through November5 include late located announcements, not a certification of complete monthend discovery.
Default equity headline uses only explicitly classified priced/unpriced equity. Debt, grants, unspecified instruments and fund closes remain separate. An unspecified legal instrument is not assumed equity from Series/seed labels.
Broader company amounts include debt/conditional commitments and unspecified instruments only where canonical amountbasis is eligible. Announced commitment is not cashreceipt.
Undisclosed exact amounts, known lower bounds and overlapping/mixed packages without eligible allocations are excluded from dollar totals and distribution statistics, never imputed aszero.
One primary AI layer and one sourced HQcountry per companyannouncement. Unknown HQ remainsXX. HQ is not where proceeds will be spent; rounds are not duplicated over every investor.
Median and quartiles use110 fullyeligible disclosed companyannouncements, allinstruments, USDconverted amounts. Type7 inclusive linear interpolation: index=(n-1)*p. This is not an equity-only distribution.
Mega threshold isUSD100M. Known lower-bound mega announcements may count as events without exactmoney; eligiblemega counts/dollar shares use only eligible disclosed amounts.
No September/October growth comparison: selectedsource populations and retrospective additions are not matched exhaustiveperiods.
Conversion preserves originalcurrency, sourcequotes and dated officialrates. Converted cents do not create precision in rounded announcements.
