Financial services leads sector representation across these 40 rounds, with eight companies including NymCard (Series B, $33M, March 2025), Fuze (Series A, $12M, May 2025), and CredibleX, which closed a $55M seed round in December 2024. ADQ's $2.0B raise in May 2025 is the largest disclosed amount in the dataset by a wide margin. Artificial intelligence and blockchain each carry a consistent presence: Tarjama closed a $15M Series A in May 2025, while Credbull and Shiga Digital represent crypto activity across 2024 and 2025.
Stage distribution skews early — pre-seed and seed rounds are frequent, though 12 rows carry a "Series Unknown" classification, many with undisclosed amounts. The dataset spans April 2021 through July 2025. TruKKer's $100M Series C (September 2022) and Pure Harvest Smart Farms' $65M venture round (October 2021) remain the largest non-financial disclosed raises in the set.
