Automotive: Hiring, Funding And Leadership Signals
Every update we hold from an employer we have filed under Automotive: 320 updates from 112 sources, across 212 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 Apr 2014 to 5 Sep 2026
$1,711,000,000 disclosed across 11 funding updates. Totals cover the 5 of 11 funding updates that are money the employer raised, stated in US dollars. We leave out amounts in other currencies rather than convert them at a rate nobody published. We also leave out money that moved for another reason: a sale price, a fund close, a company spending rather than raising, government funding, a pledge.
