Disclosed round sizes in Akershus swing widely: the largest disclosed amount is Ocean Yield’s $70M (2023-03-08), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds at $28M (Hystar on 2024-10-23 and Aker on 2024-04-05) and $25M (Green Minerals on 2025-07-02). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is Agoprene’s $530K (2023-03-01). The list is also time-concentrated: four of the 16 entries have round dates in March 2023 (Ocean Yield 2023-03-08; Agoprene 2023-03-01; plus TECO 2030 2023-07-24 and Aker Horizons 2023-06-01 fall outside that month), while the series of recent entries extends from 2022-02-02 (Cognite, $113M) to 2026-05-27 (REC Silicon ASA, $10M).
Geographically, multiple companies cluster around Lysaker and Fornebu/Lysaker corridor (Cognite 2022-02-02; Aker 2024-04-05; CoBuilder 2024-10-01; and TECO 2030 2023-07-24), while several agriculture- and energy-related bets recur in Akershus locations like Ås (Saga Robotics, undisclosed on 2026-01-22) and Høvik (Hystar, $28M on 2024-10-23). Stage and disclosure are mixed: 10 of 16 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 16 rows are explicitly “undisclosed,” shaping how cleanly disclosed comparisons can be made across categories.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Akershus list, and how far above the rest is it?
Ocean Yield’s $70M (2023-03-08) is the only disclosed round above $50M. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $28M (Hystar on 2024-10-23; Aker on 2024-04-05), $25M (Green Minerals on 2025-07-02), and $16M (Muybridge on 2026-05-21).
Where are the biggest city clusters—do Lysaker/Fornebu show up more than other localities?
Lysaker appears repeatedly across different sectors and dates (Cognite $113M on 2022-02-02; Aker $28M on 2024-04-05; CoBuilder undisclosed on 2024-10-01; TECO 2030 $3M on 2023-07-24). Fornebu/Fornebu-area locations also recur (REC Silicon ASA $10M on 2026-05-27; Muybridge $16M on 2026-05-21; Aker Horizons $8M on 2023-06-01; Høvik-based Hystar $28M on 2024-10-23 is nearby but not Fornebu).
Are there temporal clusters among the most recent 16 rounds?
Yes. March 2023 contains three of the 16 entries: Agoprene $530K (2023-03-01) and Ocean Yield $70M (2023-03-08), with additional energy-adjacent entries occurring later in 2023 (Aker Horizons $8M on 2023-06-01; TECO 2030 $3M on 2023-07-24). The overall date window runs from 2022-02-02 (Cognite) to 2026-05-27 (REC Silicon ASA).
How dominant is “Series Unknown,” and does that limit comparison by stage?
10 of 16 rows list “Series Unknown” (e.g., REC Silicon ASA 2026-05-27, IDEX 2026-04-29, and Green Minerals 2025-07-02). Only one explicitly labeled “Seed” appears (Avisomo, $2M on 2022-12-05) and one explicitly labeled “Series A” appears (Muybridge, $16M on 2026-05-21), so stage-level comparisons are constrained by classification gaps.
Any outliers on the downside or upside worth flagging for diligence?
On the downside, Agoprene’s $530K (2023-03-01) is the smallest disclosed amount in the set, far below most other disclosed rounds (e.g., TECO 2030 $3M on 2023-07-24 and Avisomo $2M on 2022-12-05). On the upside, Ocean Yield’s $70M (2023-03-08) is a clear outlier versus the $28M tier (Hystar 2024-10-23; Aker 2024-04-05).
Within disclosed entries only, how does sector mix vary—are there repeats?
Energy appears more than once: Aker Horizons ($8M on 2023-06-01) and TECO 2030 ($3M on 2023-07-24) are both labeled Energy. Agriculture and farming also shows multiple appearances via Saga Robotics (undisclosed, 2026-01-22) and Avisomo ($2M, Seed on 2022-12-05) and Saga Robotics’ $8M-free disclosure gap means sector comparisons depend on whether amounts are disclosed (undisclosed vs. listed amounts).
