Accuracy of Data

We contacted all investors listed on the Map with the goal of ensure high quality data: we want to ensure only active investors are listed. Based on the confirmation, we have the different statuses:

  • Verified:We received detailed stats about recent investments, allowing us to calculate the percentile of investment sizes.
  • Declared:While we did not receive enough details to calculate percentiles, we received declared data.
  • Estimated:When we did not receive direct data from the investor.
