Crunchbase is a business-information company whose records cover private companies, investors and financing rounds. Crunchbase News uses that database to publish reporting and analysis of venture investment. Its coverage separates stages of company financing and examines activity across countries, industries and reporting periods.

The figures rely on reported transactions, so the timing of disclosure affects the totals. Early-stage deals can enter the database after a quarter has ended, particularly at seed stage. Crunchbase converts foreign-currency transactions using the historical exchange rate associated with the reported event. Its stage definitions also determine which transactions enter each category. These choices matter when comparing its totals with another provider's figures. [Methodology](https://news.Crunchbase.com/venture/q3-2026-europe-strong-quarter-ai-uk-Germany-France/)
