Funding rounds, debt and other financing events.
Four issuer-announced investment rounds reviewed, not a guarantee that undisclosed funding is absent. Waymo announced its first external round at $2.25B on March 2, 2020, later extended it to $3.0B and updated the same round to $3.2B; extensions are not counted again. A later former-CEO statement says $3.25B, so the 2020 amount has an issuer-source precision conflict. The 2021 and 2024 announcements do not state valuations; prior database valuation estimates are withheld. Headline association; not a reviewed issuer link. Unlinked article observations are not independently reconciled financing events. This is covered public-source history, not an exhaustive issuer ledger.
