Among the 18 Edinburgh-area AI entries shown, Wordsmith AI’s $70M Series B on 2026-06-03 is the only disclosed round above $50M and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount ($10M on 2023-09-25 by Continuum Industries; several others cluster in single-digit millions). A second read suggests a time concentration at the top: 2026–2025 accounts for 6 of the 18 rows (2026-06-03, 2026-05-11, 2026-01-21, 2025-05-23, 2025-04-23, 2024-11-19 being the newest 6 within the listing’s displayed window). Stage disclosure is mixed: 5 of the 18 rows are “Series Unknown” and 2 are “undisclosed,” while the remainder spans Seed through Series B (e.g., multiple Seed rounds like Groov at $2M on 2024-11-08 and 2024-05-15’s Malted AI at $8M). The date range runs from 2020-07-09 (Machine Labs, $1M) through 2026-06-03 (Wordsmith AI), with two same-name “Neurolabs” entries appearing in different years (2025-04-23 and 2020-07-22).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed AI round in this Edinburgh listing, and how far above the rest is it?
Wordsmith AI’s $70M Series B on 2026-06-03 is the only disclosed round above $50M. The next-largest disclosed amount is $10M (Continuum Industries on 2023-09-25), with several other disclosed rounds clustered at $8M or below (e.g., Neurolabs $8M on 2025-04-23; Groov $2M on 2024-11-08).
How concentrated are these funding rounds in the most recent period shown?
The top-of-list entries skew recent: rows dated 2026–2025 total 6 of 18 (2026-06-03 Wordsmith AI $70M; 2026-05-11 SymphoMe $140K; 2026-01-21 SynapseDx $400K; 2025-05-23 Persi $890K; 2025-04-23 Neurolabs $8M; 2024-11-19 is still within the immediately newest set shown). In contrast, the oldest dated entries are 2020-07-09 (Machine Labs $1M) and 2020-07-22 (Neurolabs $1M).
Are there notable outliers on the low end where disclosed amounts fall well below the typical disclosed range?
Yes. SymphoMe’s $140K on 2026-05-11 is far below the larger disclosed rounds that dominate the upper end (e.g., $70M on 2026-06-03 and $8M on 2025-04-23). Several other sub-$1M disclosed amounts also appear, including SynapseDx at $400K (2026-01-21) and Net AI at $1M (2021-11-16).
What does the stage mix suggest about how much is disclosed vs. unspecified?
Stage disclosure is uneven: 5 of 18 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., SymphoMe 2026-05-11 $140K; Cytomos 2024-11-19 $6M; Ethical Intelligence 2023-05-02 undisclosed). Two additional rows show “undisclosed” amounts (Ethical Intelligence 2023-05-02; Global Surface Intelligence 2022-10-25), while the disclosed stage set ranges from Seed (e.g., Groov $2M on 2024-11-08) up to Series B (Wordsmith AI $70M on 2026-06-03).
Do any city labels or same-name entries indicate clustering or potential duplication in the Edinburgh data?
Most rows explicitly list Edinburgh, but labels vary between “Edinburgh” and “Edinburgh, City of” (e.g., Wordsmith AI 2026-06-03; SynapseDx 2026-01-21). The same company name “Neurolabs” appears twice with different round dates and amounts: $8M on 2025-04-23 and $1M on 2020-07-22, suggesting repeated fundraising under the same name across time rather than a single one-off entry.
