The lower table lists investment rounds in which investors in that territory participated. Note that not all rounds disclose Series or Round Size. So the number of 'Series A' rounds is the number in which the round was stated to be a 'Series A' round, and the average value of those rounds is the average of the rounds stated to be 'Series A' and for which a round value was stated. 'Average age' is the number of years between the company's formation and the date of the investment.

China is not included in the analysis. While there is substantial investment activity in China, it's economic system is significantly different from the free market economies of the other countries analysed, making comparison between those countries and China meaningless
