Across the 13 AI funding entries shown for Cincinnati, one disclosed round stands apart: Physna raised $56M on 2021-07-01, far above the rest of the disclosed amounts (the next-largest disclosed rounds are Mantium at $13M in 2021-11-09 and KineticArc at $20K in 2026-06-12, with many others at $3M, $2M, $1M, or $100K). The date window is also split: 4 of the 13 rows fall in 2026 (2026-05-27 through 2026-06-12), and the mid-period is denser around 2024-06 to 2024-07 (Taiga on 2024-06-06, several 2024-07 rounds including BRANDRANK.AI at $1M on 2024-07-30, plus at least one undisclosed 2024-07-01).
Stage labeling is uneven: 5 of the 13 rows are either “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” (Blue Bridge People on 2026-05-28 is Series Unknown; SynAIpse on 2026-05-27, Futureheal on 2024-07-01, and the smallest-disclosed check pattern includes SynAIpse/Futureheal as undisclosed; Brain-CA Technologies on 2025-12-17 is Series Unknown). The smallest disclosed amount is Fresho’s $100K on 2023-07-17, while multiple entries cluster around the $1M–$3M band (e.g., Nichefire $3M on 2025-01-07, Brain-CA Technologies $3M on 2025-12-17, and Taiga $2M on 2024-06-06).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier, and how does it compare to the other disclosed amounts in this Cincinnati AI list?
Physna’s $56M round on 2021-07-01 is the clear outlier; it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds in the table, including Mantium at $13M (2021-11-09) and KineticArc at $20K (2026-06-12), with many other disclosed entries landing at $3M, $2M, $1M, or $100K.
Do the most recent rounds cluster tightly by date, or are they spread out?
There is a recent cluster in 2026: four of the 13 rows fall in 2026, spanning 2026-05-27 (SynAIpse, undisclosed) through 2026-06-12 (KineticArc, $20K). Earlier years appear less contiguous, with multiple points separated by longer gaps such as 2025-01-07 ($3M) and 2025-12-17 ($3M).
How often are stage amounts unclear in this set (Series Unknown vs. undisclosed), and how does that affect comparisons?
5 of 13 entries have unclear stage or amount labeling: Blue Bridge People (Series Unknown, $3M) on 2026-05-28, Brain-CA Technologies (Series Unknown, $3M) on 2025-12-17, and two rows with undisclosed amounts (SynAIpse on 2026-05-27; Futureheal on 2024-07-01). That means outlier comparisons based on disclosed dollars can be based on fewer than 13 rows.
What stage mix dominates among disclosed entries, based on the stages visible here?
Among the staged labels shown, “Seed” appears repeatedly: BRANDRANK.AI ($1M, 2024-07-30), Nichefire ($3M, 2025-01-07), Taiga ($2M, 2024-06-06), Subterra ($1M, 2022-05-17), and Fresho ($100K, 2023-07-17) plus other Seed-labeled rows with amounts. In contrast, higher-labeled rounds are much rarer in the table, including Physna’s Series B ($56M, 2021-07-01) and DialGuide’s Grant ($100K, 2022-02-03).
Are there notable size-band clusters among disclosed amounts?
Yes. Several disclosed rounds cluster in the $3M range, including Blue Bridge People ($3M, 2026-05-28), Brain-CA Technologies ($3M, 2025-12-17), and Nichefire ($3M, 2025-01-07). Another visible band is $1M–$2M, such as BRANDRANK.AI at $1M (2024-07-30), Subterra at $1M (2022-05-17), and Taiga at $2M (2024-06-06), with Fresho at $100K (2023-07-17) as the smallest disclosed amount.
