This is the first financing round raised by (startup's name). The startup launched at the end of 2020 and developed with sponsorship money (or was developing with sponsorship money all this time / OR had been developing?)

Hello Sasha, The right answer is "has developed or has been developing". You need to use present perfect (focuses on the action and has a connection with the present) or present perfect continuous (focuses on the duration and has a connection with the present) if you want to show that the startup has STILL been developing since 2020 and has never stopped growing.
