How this is counted

Founders are read from the page that names them: an accelerator batch listing, the company's own site or its X account. A picture comes from the person's X or LinkedIn profile and is only kept when the profile name matches theirs, so 84% have one and the rest show initials. Someone on record at two companies is one card when both records share a LinkedIn profile or an X handle and the same name. The stage, category, location and latest raise are the company's; each latest raise links to where it was reported. One row per person and company, with the same filters, as JSON: /api/v1/founders.
