Histórico de captação de startups
6 empresas, analisadas rodada a rodada: quem liderou, quanto, com qual valuation, e o que isso significa para a sua própria captação.
BoltTallinn6.3B euroHe started with 5,000 euros
Markus Villig was nineteen when he founded what is now Bolt, the Estonian ride-hailing company, using about 5,000 euros borrowed from family. He built it in Tallinn and stayed there, and Sequoia Capital later led a 600 million euro round into it.
RampNew York$44B$8M to $44B, and one bad year
Ramp was founded in New York in 2019, not San Francisco. It raised a modest seed, took a 28 percent haircut in 2023, and was valued at $44 billion in June 2026. The dip is the useful part.
RevolutLondon$75BThey never left London
Revolut raised its first money in 2015 from a London fund, stayed in London, and ten years later reported $6 billion of audited revenue and $2.3 billion of profit. No relocation, no Valley address.
CanvaPerth$42BA hundred investors said no
Melanie Perkins pitched Canva from Perth and heard no more than a hundred times. The idea was not the problem: it became a $40 billion company. In 2012 there was simply no way to reach investors from Western Australia.
LovableStockholm$13.3BBuilt in Stockholm, valued at $13.3B
Lovable started as an open source side project. Three years later it had raised more than $950M and was valued at $13.3 billion, from an office in Sweden. Here is the whole funding history, and what it means for wherever you are sitting right now.
Cursor$29.3B$8M to $60B in under three years
Three years ago Cursor was a demo four students showed to investors. In June 2026, SpaceX agreed to buy it for $60 billion, the largest acquisition of a venture backed startup on record. Here is the whole funding history, and the part of it a founder can copy.
