Today's Scottish tech news on the front page

How it is counted. Every figure is a sum of the funding rounds ayeoh has recorded from published reports and public registers, dated by announcement. “Reported” adds every listed round's stored pounds; “confirmed” adds only rounds with a Scottish place stored and a first-hand source (the company's, investor's or funder's own page), the rule the tracker and the front page follow. A round with no disclosed amount is counted and not added. A city is the region a round counts under; a place with fewer than three rounds is summed under “other places”. The sentences are templates filled from these rows; no model wrote them. The record holds the rounds that were reported, so a city's total can rise when an earlier round is found.
