Startup Street

A window lights each time Sonde reads a filing from Companies House. When a venture-backed company files, it steps onto the street. This is happening now.

Who's on the street

Height follows valuation. When a round lands a company swells for a few seconds, then settles back. A crown marks £1bn and up.

How this works

  • The skyline: a window lights for each filing event Sonde reads from the Companies House stream, in the region of the company that filed. Every kind of company counts here, not only startups.
  • The street: a company steps on when it files and Sonde has it marked as venture-backed, meaning it has raised £100k or more in a priced round. It stays a few hours, then leaves. When nothing is being filed, the most recent raises stay out.
  • Timing: a filing shows when Sonde reads it. In busy hours that can be an hour or two after Companies House publishes it.
  • Where a company stands: the region of its registered-office postcode, which is not always where it works.
  • Height: the company's latest valuation from its share issues, in nine sizes from £500k to £1bn. Each size up is about two and a half times the valuation of the one below. Where that figure looks like a misfiled price, three times the money raised is used.
  • Raised: cash share issues in pounds, read from the form, with price outliers removed. A share issue shows as "Share issue" until the form has been read, and stays that way under £50k.
  • People: none. Each character is a company, and a filing is shown by its type only.
