Biologics and biosciences form the most visible cluster — Ascribe Bioscience (Ithaca, $12M Series A), Terrana Biosciences (Cambridge, $50M), Kula Bio (Somerville, Series A), and Silvec Biologics (Gaithersburg) all raised in this window. Soil and water intelligence is another recurring theme, with EarthOptics ($38M), H2Ok Innovations ($12M), Nitricity ($63M), and Soil Action ($5M seed) each focused on field-level resource data. Autonomous field equipment (Agtonomy, TRIC Robotics, Aigen, Monarch Tractor) and controlled-environment farming (AeroFarms, Vertical Harvest, Local Bounti, IUNU) are also represented.
How many rounds have undisclosed amounts, and what is the range among those disclosed?
At least 11 of the 50 rounds list undisclosed amounts, including Kula Bio (Series A, November 2025), California Cultured (Series A), AeroFarms, Hydrosat, Vanguard Renewables, Terviva, Zordi, Blooms, Sylvan, Vertical Harvest, and Students for Eco-Education & Agriculture. Among disclosed rounds, amounts span from $100K (Silvec Biologics, Finger Lakes Land Trust) up to $150M (Cambrian Innovation), with several micro-rounds under $1M, such as Oakridge Dairy ($230K) and Prolific Earth Sciences ($160K).
Which recently funded seed-stage companies are most likely to be building out vendor and partner networks?
The most recent seed closes with disclosed amounts include Bindwell (San Francisco, $6M, November 2025), Dalan Animal Health (Athens, Georgia, $3M, November 2025), TRIC Robotics (Newark, Delaware, $6M, July 2025), and Soil Action (Wyoming, Michigan, $5M, August 2025).
