Welcome to the Coinfeeds fundraising report email!

We are separating out companies that have recently raised funds from our weekly scouting email, to bring you a report of the fundraises announced over the last week.

Keeping track of fundraising activity can help identify trends, such as a shift in investor interest towards certain sectors or a slowdown in funding due to market conditions.
