Standards and corrections
How FundOpsHQ gathers the news, what its software can get wrong, what it will not do, and a running log of what it has fixed.
Where the news comes from
Trade publications, wires, and firm, law-firm and regulator pages. Every story links to its publisher and names the outlets that reported it. We do not republish their articles, and the linked report is the source of record.
What software does
Software gathers the reports, joins reports of the same event into one story, and writes the summaries and the facts beside them, such as firm, fund, size and stage. It reads what was published and can get it wrong. We test for known faults, but we do not check every story by hand before it appears.
Numbers
A size on a story is what the reports state. The largest fund closes list reported closes only, largest first, and each row links to its report. A fund that does not disclose its size is not estimated.
Events
A date goes on the events board only when the organizer states it, on its own page, its registration page or its announcement. We do not copy dates from aggregators.
Explainers
The films and the glossary use public information and round numbers. They say what a term means and why it matters to investors. They are not legal, tax or investment advice, and terms vary by fund.
What we do not do
FundOpsHQ is free and carries no advertising or sponsorship. Nobody pays to be covered or listed, or to appear higher on a page. We do not recommend or compare service firms or vendors, and we do not give investment advice.
Corrections
If we have a fund, a figure or a name wrong, use “Suggest a correction” on the story or write to hello@fundopshq.com. We fix the page itself. Errors that touched more than one story are logged here.
Some summaries described pending deals as done. New summaries now keep to what the report says. Older summaries were not rewritten, so the linked report is the source of record.
A review of two weeks of FundOps Daily found wrong fund stages, sizes and currency conversions. We corrected those rows and added a check on publisher dates when a story arrives.
A fault let the software give a story a sum of money from another article handled at the same time, including a size on a deal whose terms were not disclosed. We fixed the fault and repaired the affected stories.
