Values are 100% enterprise values. Multiples divide EV by full-company revenue or EBITDA. Reported prices are assumed to be EV; explicit partial-stake prices are grossed up as estimates. Amounts paid are tracked separately, and a financing without a reported valuation shows its amount raised, not an EV.

Source coverage varies by transaction. Announced deals, minority investments and capital raises retain their own labels; an investment amount is separate from enterprise value. Read the methodology.
