Japan: Hiring, Funding And Leadership Signals
Every update we hold that a source placed in Japan: 432 updates from 59 sources, across 430 employers. Each one links to the filing or report that makes the claim. These are counts of documents we have read, so they measure what we have found and can cite, not everything that happened. They also include the routine officer filings the tracker sets aside by default, so its figure for this place is lower than the one above.
Covering 2 Oct 2024 to 14 Aug 2026
$130,265,684 disclosed across 12 funding updates. Totals cover the 8 of 12 funding updates that state a US dollar amount. We leave out amounts in other currencies rather than convert them at a rate nobody published.
