Note: FX from non-USD to USD conducted at time of import. Fluctuations in rates since then may result in different calculations.
To achieve comparability, funds whose values were denominated in currencies other than the US Dollar were converted to the US Dollar at the time of importing the data from INDIGO and ranked by total outcomes value. To avoid ambiguity, where no data was provided for fund stage, ‘not stated’ was added. No other processing was done.
Outcomes Funds By Total Outcomes Value
Sourced from INDIGO in April 2024, this table displays outcomes funds organised by total outcomes value (standardised on USD). For additional information about outcomes funds including a table that counts both pipeline and deployed funds, please see the data resources section of this website. Note: this data table is a static resource reflecting a point-in-time snapshot of this data. It will not be updated.
