A couple of these had smaller max valuations than amount raised this seems independent of year founded.

What's the explanation? Several funding rounds with high burn rate? ...

Startup equity rounds are typically disclosed publicly, but the valuations might not be (for a variety of reasons, one of which is that valuations can be used as a proxy for the health of the company, which the company may want to keep private). Pitchbook likely only uses publicly known/verified valuations, which may not reflect the actual valuation at the latest round of fundraising.

Either they did late stage down rounds, or the data is just wrong.
