Across the 38 AI startup entries shown (2020-04-09 to 2026-05-28), the largest disclosed round is Verda (formerly DataCrunch) at $117M on 2026-04-24, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts (the next-largest disclosed amounts are $28M for Aibidia on 2025-06-04 and $18M for Kelluu on 2026-04-14). Several funding events cluster in Helsinki/Southern Finland across spring 2026: Avrea ($5M, 2026-05-26), Smilee.ai (undisclosed, 2026-05-28), Bliss (undisclosed, 2026-05-11), Confidentialmind ($4M, 2026-04-24), Verda ($117M, 2026-04-24), and Realm ($5M, 2026-04-22). Outliers appear alongside that concentration: two Pre-Seed/Crowdfunding-style entries sit at the $600K–$580K floor (CloEE at $600K on 2025-06-23 and NOCFO at $580K on 2025-01-05), while earlier years include large disclosed rounds such as Neuro Event Labs at $4M (2020-04-09). The most recent row is Smilee.ai on 2026-05-28, while the oldest shown is Neuro Event Labs on 2020-04-09.

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round, and how separated is it from the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Verda (formerly DataCrunch) raised $117M on 2026-04-24, and that figure is the only disclosed round above $50M in the rows shown. The next-highest disclosed amounts are $28M (Aibidia on 2025-06-04) and $18M (Kelluu on 2026-04-14), making $117M an outlier versus the rest of the disclosed distribution.
Is there a geographic concentration in where these AI rounds are based?
Helsinki/Southern Finland dominates the list by concentration across the most recent cluster: Avrea ($5M, 2026-05-26), Bliss (undisclosed, 2026-05-11), Confidentialmind ($4M, 2026-04-24), Verda ($117M, 2026-04-24), Realm ($5M, 2026-04-22), and Agileday ($8M, 2026-01-23) are all listed in Helsinki or Southern Finland. Smaller secondary clusters appear in Tampere/Western Finland (e.g., Dipsy undisclosed, 2023-04-29; WordDive $2M, 2022-04-20) and Espoo/Eastern or Southern Finland variants (e.g., Groundhawk $2M, 2026-03-03; Root Signals $3M, 2024-09-04).
Which entries fall into the most recent 90 days shown on the page?
Within the newest 90-day window ending at 2026-05-28, the entries include Smilee.ai (undisclosed, 2026-05-28), Avrea ($5M, 2026-05-26), Bliss (undisclosed, 2026-05-11), Confidentialmind ($4M, 2026-04-24), Verda ($117M, 2026-04-24), Realm ($5M, 2026-04-22), and Kelluu ($18M, 2026-04-14). The presence of both Verda ($117M) and multiple $4M–$5M rounds in the same period makes this window unusually high-variance.
How much of the list is undisclosed versus disclosed by amount?
There are 6 rows with undisclosed amounts: Smilee.ai (2026-05-28), Bliss (2026-05-11), Planmark Oy (2024-12-17), Dipsy (2023-04-29), Skyfora (2022-12-19), and Freyja (2022-10-01). The remaining entries provide explicit disclosed amounts, including the low end at $580K for NOCFO (2025-01-05) and $600K for CloEE (2025-06-23).
Is the smallest disclosed round also an outlier, and where does it sit relative to typical disclosed amounts here?
The smallest disclosed amount is NOCFO at $580K on 2025-01-05 (with CloEE at $600K on 2025-06-23 close behind). Both are far below the next common tiers such as $1M rounds (e.g., Zefort $1M, 2024-09-04; Sniffie $1M, 2022-02-01) and multi-million rounds like Realm’s $5M (2026-04-22) or Agileday’s $8M (2026-01-23), indicating a low-end funding tail within disclosed amounts.
What stage labeling appears most often among these 38 entries?
‘Seed’ and ‘Pre-Seed’ each appear repeatedly across the list. Examples include Seed rounds for Confidentialmind ($4M, 2026-04-24), Groundhawk ($2M, 2026-03-03), CHAOS ($2M, 2025-11-12), Root Signals ($3M, 2024-09-04), and Saidot ($2M, 2023-10-05); Pre-Seed examples include Avrea ($5M, 2026-05-26), Optivian ($2M, 2026-02-03), CloEE (Pre-Seed at $600K, 2025-06-23), and Skyfora (undisclosed, 2022-12-19). Several additional rows also use more ambiguous labels like ‘Series Unknown’ (e.g., Smilee.ai 2026-05-28 and Verda 2026-04-24), which complicates stage-to-size comparisons.
