Chicago's app startup funding in this dataset spans from OjaExpress's $100K raise in June 2020 through TrueToForm's undisclosed close on June 3, 2025 — a range that captures early pre-seeds, growth-stage Series C rounds, and everything in between. The largest disclosed round is ActiveCampaign's $240M Series C (April 2021), with Fly.io ($70M Series C, June 2023), Klover ($60M Series A, August 2021), and Hallow ($50M Series C, May 2023) also representing significant capital deployments.
2021 stands out as the most active year in the set, producing at least four raises including Klover, Veo ($16M Series A), and Rise Science ($10M). Health and wellness apps are a recurring theme — HabitNu, NutriSense, Rise Science, and Hallow together drew over $99M across their rounds. Recent 2024–2025 activity skews earlier-stage, with seed and pre-seed rounds for FieldOS, FOODe, and Service-Plus Connect alongside INFI's $12M Series A in February 2025.
