The November 2023 mixed package is not $500M issuer equity; Burda later describes more than US$100M in equity plus a research grant, still without an exact amount or close. Burda's September 2026 account confirms its November 2024 secondary with three named co-buyers, not additional issuer capital. Schwarz's January 2026 intended Bosch share acquisition remains an announced plan in that source, not a proved settlement. Burda describes a September 16, 2026 signed combination agreement, subject to regulatory approval: not a completed merger. Cohere Series E is separate and not Aleph Alpha funding. The 2020 EUR 5.3M seed and 2021 EUR 23M Series A have no captured USD conversion. The 2020 non-equity assistance remains database-only. No independent complete-history or eligibility review, exact vehicles, source rights or current balances are established; this is not a current shareholder register. Status source ↗

November 2024 secondary purchase

Burda Principal Investments · Earlybird VC · Deutsche Bank · Schwarz Group companies

Source published Sep 18, 2026; not a financing date

Burda explicitly identifies its November 2024 purchase as secondary and names Earlybird, Deutsche Bank and Schwarz alongside it. November 1 is a month sorting key, not an authenticated closing day. Burda's contemporaneous November 20 announcement corroborates the stake increases: https://www.burda.com/en/news/burda-increases-its-stake-aleph-alpha/ . November 20 is publication, not proved settlement. Amount, price, seller, quantities and exact vehicles remain unknown; not additional issuer capital. That contemporaneous page's Bosch, SAP and HPE are other historical backers, not this secondary's established buyers.

Series B announced package (equity and commercial commitments mixed)

Bosch Ventures (lead) · Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence (Ipai) (lead) · Schwarz Group companies (lead) · Christ&Company Consulting · Hewlett Packard Enterprise · SAP · Burda Principal Investments

Announcement says successful signing, not separately verified funding/close. The more-than-$500M total includes applied-research investment by Ipai and commitments for joint business development; no exact issuer-equity portion is stated. Burda's later participant account describes more than US$100M in equity plus a research grant: https://www.burdaprincipalinvestments.com/2026/09/18/cohere-aleph-alpha-join-forces/ . This lower-bound retrospective is not an exact equity cheque, a second round or a reconciliation of the whole package. Its named prior seed timing differs from the original investor chronology; no current cap table or separately authenticated close is inferred.

Seed

LEA Partners (lead) · 468 Capital · Cavalry Ventures

Source published Jul 27, 2021; not a financing date

LEA's German Series A account identifies itself as seed lead, 468 and Cavalry as seed investors and EUR 5.3M in November 2020. Its January 27, 2021 announcement describes the same seed syndicate without an amount: https://www.leapartners.de/en/detail/lea-partners-invests-in-alephalpha/ . That later announcement is not a second seed round; its publication is not an authenticated November closing day. Burda's September 2026 retrospective mentions 2019 seed timing; original LEA/2021 accounts support November 2020 and that discrepancy remains attributed rather than creating an extra round. Exact subscribing funds, class rights, shares and USD conversion remain unknown.

Planned Bosch share acquisition by Schwarz Group

Schwarz Group companies

Source published Jan 28, 2026; not a financing date

Schwarz announces an intended acquisition, subject to regulatory approval, naming Bosch Ventures as the seller. It is not a proved completion, exact transfer date, price, quantity or legal buying vehicle and not a new primary raise. January 28 is publication; the archive/2025 path does not turn this into a 2025 event. The announcement is distinct from the earlier November 2024 secondary and the later Cohere combination.
