07 / READING THE ATLAS
What these patterns can tell you.
The market boundary
Recorded equity rounds for companies tagged IT Services and located in Shibuya. Investor headquarters may be elsewhere. Company sector and location reflect the available company records, not necessarily the location or sector at the investment date.
The time boundary
Data coverage ends 22 May 2026. The latest market round is 19 Jun 2025. There are 0 undated participations, excluded from timing metrics. Activity after the cutoff is unknown.
The relationship boundary
“New” is the first dated relationship between a backer and a company in this market. “Backed again” requires a later dated round together. A first observed entry may follow an earlier unrecorded investment.
The financing boundary
Amounts describe entire equity rounds, not personal cheques, fund capacity or returns. Medians exclude missing and non-positive amounts; the middle half spans the 25th–75th percentiles. A recorded investment does not establish current availability.
