Yesterday we published a list of the fastest growing venture-backed startups companies who have raised $80M or more, and were surprised to find there 584 companies in our database with funding at that level. Upon closer inspection, we found heavier funding for pharmaceutical and energy companies as well as a lot of private equity deals in companies you wouldn’t colloquially think of as tech startups. Among the companies who are venture backed, here are the 25 who have taken the most funding over the years.
