Among Berkeley AI rounds with disclosed sizes, the largest single disclosed amount is Rigetti Computing’s $350M on 2025-06-11. That figure is far above the next set of large disclosed rounds (e.g., KoBold Metals at $492M on 2024-10-04 and Profluent Bio at $106M on 2025-11-19), and it sits well above most other disclosed amounts clustered between $5M and $25M (e.g., MindsDB $5M on 2023-08-08; Kogniz $8M on 2022-03-18; Kettle $25M on 2021-11-18). The listing shows tight temporal clustering too: 10 of the 31 rows fall between 2025-02-10 (Algorized) and 2025-07-22 (RelationalAI), including multiple mid-size disclosed rounds such as Arize AI $70M (2025-02-20), SuperAnnotate $14M (2025-07-15), and GaiaNet $10M (2025-07-22).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in the Berkeley AI set, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
KoBold Metals’ $492M on 2024-10-04 is the largest disclosed round in the table. Several other disclosed rounds are high but not in the same league (Rigetti Computing $350M on 2025-06-11; Profluent Bio $106M on 2025-11-19), while many other disclosed entries fall in the $5M–$25M band (e.g., MindsDB $5M on 2023-08-08; Intento $7M on 2023-05-15; Kettle $25M on 2021-11-18).
Are there clear time clusters in the most recent quarters?
Yes. Between 2025-02-10 (Algorized) and 2025-07-22 (RelationalAI), 10 of the 31 rows appear, with multiple disclosed rounds in that window such as Arize AI $70M (2025-02-20), SuperAnnotate $14M (2025-07-15), and GaiaNet $10M (2025-07-22). Earlier than that, the table shows a second dense period around 2024-10-04 to 2024-10-08 (KoBold Metals $492M on 2024-10-04; Distributional $19M on 2024-10-08).
How often are amounts undisclosed or the round type not specified?
Undisclosed amounts appear 4 times (Solideon 2025-10-10; Coverstar 2025-07-07; FlowGPT 2023-05-03; Climax Foods appears again with “undisclosed” on 2024-09-04 and 2023-04-11). “Series Unknown” shows up frequently as well (e.g., RelationalAI 2025-12-11; Rigetti Computing 2025-06-11; KoBold Metals 2024-10-04; Distributional is Series A), while some rows also use blank/unspecified round labels (e.g., SuperAnnotate 2020-06-11 and DeepScribe 2021-05-13).
Which stage labels dominate among disclosed rounds?
Across the table, Seed and Series A are common anchors: Seed includes MeltPlan $10M (2026-02-26), Algorized is Series A $13M (2026-02-10), and multiple $10M–$14M Seed/Series A entries appear (e.g., SigIQ Seed $10M on 2025-04-07; GaiaNet Series A $10M on 2025-07-22; Distributional Series A $19M on 2024-10-08). Higher-ticket Series rounds also show up—Arize AI is Series C $70M (2025-02-20) and Covariant is Series C $75M (2023-04-04)—but the mid-market disclosed amounts recur most often in Seed/Series A entries.
Are there standout outliers besides the largest round that a buyer/investor should watch for?
Rigetti Computing’s $350M (2025-06-11) and Profluent Bio’s $106M (2025-11-19) are prominent outliers above the typical disclosed $5M–$25M range. On the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is Lucid’s $500K on 2025-03-12 (Pre-Seed), which is an order-of-magnitude below several small disclosed rounds like WideSense $3M (2023-07-07) and RIIICO $1M (2023-01-11).
