If the financing round is $100m or more, should it really be called venture?

"Larger fundings dominated, with $103 billion (64 percent) invested in 400 companies that raised rounds of $100 million or more this past quarter. A further $57 billion was invested in over 4,700 companies in rounds below $100 million.
Funding amounts at $100 million or more grew 97 percent year over year, while rounds below $100 million increased as well by 51 percent in the same time frame."

"Prior to 2021, global funding had not reached over $100 billion in a single quarter.
Funding in 2021 has far superseded that amount, with the first quarter tracking at $135 billion, the second quarter reaching $159 billion, and the most recent quarter peaking at $160 billion."

$100 million rounds goes a long way in funding $100 billion a quarter.
