BASE
Written from live funding ingest, not inferred later
BASE
One funding event, one clear timeline row.
Published rounds become scored funding signals — amount, stage, and investors when known — without merging multiple rounds into a blurry average. Each event can unlock Funding + AI journey tracking and bump related coverage.
- One published round → one funding signal
- Confidence grounded in stage and capital strength
- Unlocks Funding + AI journey follow-through
- Can prioritize hiring and web coverage for the company

What it is
A funding round as a timed company fact
A Funding signal is one funding round — amount, stage, investors when known — written as a single timeline event with a human-readable label. It is BASE: born from live funding ingest, not inferred from other VeilStrat rows.
Unlike Hiring, Funding does not collapse many events into one row. Each round keeps its identity so capital timing stays unambiguous — and so Funding + AI can age from the raise, not a messy merge.
- Standalone funding lists and company timelines both read this row
- Required half of the Funding + AI journey composition
- Can prioritize hiring coverage and web crawl attention for the company

How we judge it
Capital event in, trusted row out
Funding is BASE — written from live funding ingest, deduplicated per round, then connected to journey follow-through and optional coverage bumps.
- 1
Detect the round
A funding event arrives via live ingest with stage, amount, and investor fields when available.
- 2
Write exactly one signal
VeilStrat creates one funding row for that event — no multi-round merge — so the same round does not duplicate on the timeline.
- 3
Label and score
Human-readable label copy with a reliable fallback. Confidence is set at write time from proprietary judgment on stage and capital strength.
- 4
Connect follow-ons
Opens Funding + AI journey tracking as AI hiring evidence accumulates; may prioritize hiring and web coverage for the company.
Signal strength
Why the score means something
Write-time confidence reflects proprietary judgment on stage and capital strength — not a black-box “hot round” tag refreshed on a schedule.
