Funding rounds, acquisitions, and IPOs across 1M+ global transactions. Specter’s transactions dataset captures deal activity across private and public markets. Each transaction has a stable ID (fnr_, acq_, ipo_) and links directly to the companies and investors involved.

Data categories

  • Funding roundsinvestment_type (Seed through Series J, plus Undisclosed), raised_amount_usd, announced_on, pre- and post-money valuations, and the full investors list with an is_lead_investor flag.
  • Acquisitions — both sides of the deal (acquirer_company_id / acquiree_company_id with names and domains), acquisition_type (acquisition, merge, lbo, acquihire, management_buyout), price_usd, acquisition_date.
  • IPOs — issuing company, exchange, ticker, pricing, and capital raised.
  • Participants — investors and companies, resolvable to full profiles via their IDs.
Example — funding round (trimmed)

Notes

  • Transaction data is usually reached via a company or an investor, then drilled into by transaction ID.
  • Deal terms (amount, valuation) are null when undisclosed — never 0.
  • Funding rounds carry the full investor list with a lead flag (is_lead_investor); acquisitions carry both the acquirer and acquiree company IDs.
  • Transaction IDs are prefixed (fnr_, acq_, ipo_); the company and investor IDs inside them chain to the Companies and Investors APIs.
