How this figure is calculated
The valuation set by the latest priced funding round or company-run share sale, as announced by the company or its lead investor, or reported by a major news organisation. Figures in other currencies are converted at the rate on the day of the round. Talks that have been reported but not closed do not count. This valuation is more than three years old, so it is marked as dated.
