How to cite ayeoh

Name ayeoh and link the page the figure is on: “according to ayeoh's Scottish tech funding tracker (https://ayeoh.io/funding/tracker)”, or the month's report, “ayeoh, The State of Scottish Tech, October 2026, https://ayeoh.io/reports/2026-10”. Say the day you read it: the record grows as rounds are announced, and a month's figure can rise when an earlier round is found.

Licence. The funding data and figures are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International: reuse them freely, commercially too, crediting "ayeoh.io" with a link to https://ayeoh.io. CC BY 4.0.

What the figures count: rounds and grants for Scottish tech companies, read from published reports and public registers, dated by their announcement in UK time and summed on their pounds; a round with no disclosed amount is counted and not added. They are the rounds that were reported, not every round there was.
