Wind-downs

Shutdowns, layoffs, bankruptcies and down rounds in the same window.

layoffs Vicarious Surgical Vicarious Surgical cuts 14% of staff The Robot Report

Reports with the same company, amount, currency and compatible round stage within seven days are grouped into one deal. Possible same-round reports with different amounts remain visible but are excluded from counts and totals pending review. Dates are first coverage dates. Totals stay in their original currencies; no exchange rate is assumed. This is a coverage sample, not a complete market total.

How these tables are built

The SEC table is the exception to everything below: those amounts come from Form D filings on EDGAR, matched to hand-pinned filer records, and cite the filing directly. The headline tables: Rows are extracted automatically from the headlines and summaries in our feed window — no figures are estimated or filled in. A deal appears only when the publisher stated an amount, so undisclosed rounds are missing entirely and the totals are a floor, not a market size. Stage is shown only where the story names it. Wind-downs require the event to be named in the headline, which means a quiet quarter and an unreported one look identical here. Every row links to the reporting it came from; if a number looks wrong, the publisher's story is the authority, not us.
