What this is
Niantic’s 2018–19 funding round: about $245m sold to 28 investors.
How it’s built
- Read from Niantic’s amended Form D filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2019; the original filing in January showed $191m from 26 investors.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Form D filings do not name investors, so it cannot show whether any Pokémon entity added money.
