tl;dr: frontrun flagged 164 of these companies before their funding round was announced, an average of 92 days early and up to 246 days. every flag date below is the date tracked venture investors started following that company on X, recorded at the time, not backfilled after the news.

how this list is built

frontrun watches the follow graphs of 2,000+ tracked venture investors on X. when several of them start following the same small company, that convergence is logged with a date. months later, some of those companies announce a round. this page is every case where the flag came first.

three rules keep it honest. rounds flagged less than 7 days ahead are excluded, because at that point the raise was probably already circulating. companies added during a catalog backfill are excluded entirely, because a backfill date is not a detection. and every round here links to the source that announced it, so nothing on this page has to be taken on trust.

month by month: october 2026 (7) · september 2026 (21) · august 2026 (55) · july 2026 (51) · june 2026 (11) · april 2026 (8) · march 2026 (5)

every round, most recently raised first
