What this data is and how we count it
Where do these company ad counts come from? Spytrend collects ads from the Meta Ad Library and matches them to companies by the sites their ads lead to. A company is listed when we have seen at least 100 of its ads and its page passes our data check: at least three of nine indicators, which are ads, creatives, countries, ad messages, offers, money raised (a disclosed total or the amount of the last round), ARR or valuation, site traffic and similar companies. Site traffic is never shown on these pages, so it never counts toward the three.
Ads counts every Meta ad we have seen from the company; the 14-day figure counts the ones active in the last 14 days; countries counts the countries its ads ran in. The data is as of 13 Nov 2026, the date of the newest weekly build.
Money raised, rounds, ARR and valuation come from Spytrend Startups, which records them from filings, company announcements and press reports, as of 13 Nov 2026. A total is the sum of the company's recorded rounds or the total it reported; some rounds are self-reported. Raised is a company's disclosed total and the category's figure adds those totals up; Round is the type of its last recorded round. Estimates are left out. A company without a figure shows none, never a zero.
