JPMorgan's Aumni deal was announced in 2023, not 2022

The record

JPMorgan's own announcement, "J.P. Morgan to Acquire Aumni," is dated 22 March 2023, not 2022. It states Aumni's data-analytics engine "structures, tracks and analyzes" the legal and economic terms behind growth-stage private-market transactions, that financial terms were not disclosed, and that closing was expected in the first half of 2023. Aumni's own newsroom index, preserved via the Wayback Machine, lists the same press release and matching media coverage both dated 22 March 2023, with no earlier JPMorgan announcement anywhere in its archive.

What the sources establish

What both sources agree on is Aumni's data model: figures are extracted from the actual signed documents behind a venture round -- term sheets, purchase agreements, cap tables -- rather than collected through surveys or self-reported disclosures. That is a document-level dataset, not a market census; it covers the deals that were run through Aumni's own platform by the venture firms, law firms and fund administrators using it, and nothing outside that processed set. A 2022 date sometimes attached to this deal does not appear in either primary source; the announcement, the closing timeline and the earliest matching press coverage are all dated to March 2023.

Scope and revision

A more recent snapshot of Aumni's own site changes the picture further: as archived in March 2026, the homepage states that J.P. Morgan has decided to "discontinue Aumni's services," with client access ending 31 March 2026. A dataset built from real deal documents is only as useful going forward as the platform that keeps collecting them; this notice means Aumni's document-level data pipeline, as JPMorgan operated it, has an announced end date, which any analysis relying on Aumni-sourced benchmarks needs to account for.

The decision in front of you

Editorially: cite 22 March 2023 as the announcement date for this acquisition, not 2022, and note Aumni's 2026 discontinuation wherever its benchmarks are used as an ongoing data source rather than a historical one.

• Is the deal's announcement date being confused with an assumed prior year, and does the citing source actually predate March 2023?
• Does this Aumni-sourced figure describe terms drawn from processed deal documents, or is it being treated as a market-wide average?
• Is an Aumni benchmark being used as a live, ongoing series after the platform's announced 31 March 2026 discontinuation?

Aumni's contribution to the record was a genuinely document-grounded dataset inside a bank's platform; its record now also includes a firm end date, and an announcement year that this pack's own sources do not support.
