Funded Startups in Arkansas
Arkansas’s most recent disclosed rounds are dominated by one size outlier: Hybar’s $1.1B round dated 2026-06-15.
Arkansas’s most recent disclosed rounds are dominated by one size outlier: Hybar’s $1.1B round dated 2026-06-15. No other disclosed amount in the list approaches that level; the next-highest visible disclosed figures include Cloyes Gear and Products at $300M (2026-05-04) and Rock Dental Brands at $90M (2024-12-02), while many other entries sit in the $3M–$37M range or below.
Timing and geography show tighter clustering than the funding sizes. Multiple entries concentrate in 2025 and 2024 (e.g., Angel Eye Health $9M on 2025-12-09; Panacea Financial $37M on 2025-07-14; Laravel $57M on 2024-09-05; White River $22M on 2024-04-01), and Bentonville appears repeatedly (e.g., Angel Eye Health, Sober Sidekick, Insite AI, Insite AI’s $19M on 2022-10-11), alongside Little Rock (multiple entries including Rock Dental Brands $90M on 2024-12-02). Stage/amount reporting is also uneven: 50 total rows include many “Series Unknown” and some “undisclosed” amounts, with “undisclosed” appearing alongside initiatives like Ox (2025-07-15) and multiple others. The date span runs from the most recent round on 2026-06-15 (Hybar) back to 2022-10-04 (Goodwill Industries of Arkansas).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Arkansas list, and how sharply does it separate from the rest?
Hybar’s $1.1B disclosed round (2026-06-15) is a clear size outlier: the next-largest disclosed amounts shown are far lower, including Cloyes Gear and Products at $300M (2026-05-04) and Rock Dental Brands at $90M (2024-12-02).
How much of the activity clusters in the most recent window of rounds?
Within the list, several high-value disclosed rounds land late in the timeline, including Angel Eye Health ($9M, 2025-12-09), Sober Sidekick ($8M, 2025-12-03), Panacea Financial ($37M, 2025-07-14), and Laravel ($57M, 2024-09-05). The most recent entry is Hybar on 2026-06-15, and multiple other rounds appear across 2025–2024 rather than being evenly distributed.
Which city shows up most consistently, suggesting a local hub effect?
Bentonville repeats across different sectors and stages, including Angel Eye Health (Little Rock; but Bentonville’s own entries include Ox in Bentonville with undisclosed amount on 2025-07-15, Sober Sidekick in Bentonville area context on 2025-12-03, and Insite AI in Bentonville at $19M on 2022-10-11). Little Rock also appears multiple times, including Rock Dental Brands at $90M (2024-12-02).
How concentrated are sectors, or are funding rounds spread thin across many verticals?
Sectors appear broad rather than tightly concentrated: AI/Software/Financial Services show multiple entries (e.g., Insite AI at $19M on 2022-10-11 and Ox on 2025-07-15 for AI; Laravel $57M on 2024-09-05 and Nighthawk Custom at $260K on 2023-09-01 for software-adjacent categories are present). The dataset does not show a single sector dominating the majority of rows.
What stage and disclosure patterns stand out, and where are the missing numbers most visible?
There are many “Series Unknown” classifications and multiple “undisclosed” amount entries, which can mask comparability across rounds. Notable undisclosed examples include Ox (2025-07-15, Series A) and Pediatrics Plus (2025-01-13), as well as Field Agent (2024-09-23) and Cross Services (2024-09-10).
Are there unusually small disclosed rounds that may indicate grants or early experiments rather than scaled funding?
Yes: the smallest disclosed amount shown is Our House in Little Rock, AR at $10K (2023-04-07), which is far below other disclosed rounds like Apple Seeds at $20K (2025-04-14) and Wishfluence at $100K (2023-04-26). This makes the low end of disclosed funding a distinct outlier cluster in the list.
