The period behind the headline
The IVC–ZAG 2019 report shows annual capital-raising figures for 2010–2019. Adding the ten displayed values gives $39.062 billion, or about $39.1 billion. The same chart records $8.296 billion and 522 deals for 2019. These are historical figures for that report's coverage, not the last ten years relative to today and not startup revenue.
What the aggregate does not tell us
An aggregate does not establish how evenly financing was distributed or whether any particular company became profitable. Keep the report's publication vintage, company definition and transaction coverage when comparing it with later data. The previous list of individual rounds contained mistranslated company names and unverified details; it has been removed rather than treated as a current investment shortlist.
