Easy to get wrong
- Impulse $808M is the combined Series D, not a new $808 million check. $5.6B is Reuters, not the company.
- BCV $1.6B ≠ Bain Capital $225B. Predecessor $1.4B is Bloomberg.
- Portage $600M ≠ $7.0B AUM ≠ Sagard $47B.
- Noetive $30T is TAM copy. No mark.
- Treble lifetime €36M vs this round $18M — mixed currency.
