How this page is built

Companies are placed in Aerospace & Defense by what their own website says they make or sell. A company we have not researched yet is placed by the industry it chose on its Form D when that choice clearly fits; 9,697 companies on the site are not placed in an industry yet, so these totals grow as we research them. A round is a new Form D offering, updated by later amendments. Public companies, foreign issuers, spin-offs and other business-combination filings are excluded. A filing whose figures contradict each other is counted as filed and flagged on its company page. Not every round is filed on Form D.
