Portland-area AI funding in these 12 most recent rows shows a clear size skew: the largest disclosed round is Aisles at $30M (2024-05-18), sitting far above the next-largest disclosed amounts ($6M on 2025-01-13 for First Ascent Biomedical; $3M on 2024-12-05 for Sightglass; and $2M on 2021-09-01 for Rewire Neuro). Several other disclosed rounds cluster near the lower end (e.g., $250K for CleanHaus on 2026-01-12; $600K for KinoTek on 2021-02-17).
Geographically, the list is heavily Portland-leaning: 9 of 12 entries are based in Portland, Oregon (CleanHaus, Regulate, Porter Labs, Stitch Studio, First Ascent Biomedical, Sightglass, Aisles, Shelpful, plus one more Portland-based row), with the remaining 3 split between Portland, Maine (RxAnte; plus KinoTek is in Portland, Maine) and other Maine entries (RxAnte and KinoTek) across earlier dates (2026-01-12, 2021-02-17). Temporally, rounds span 2021-02-17 to 2026-02-12, with a notable concentration between 2023-12-15 and 2025-07-17. Stage information is sparse: 7 of 12 rows are labeled undisclosed or “Series Unknown” on the amount field (undisclosed amounts plus RxAnte’s “Series Unknown”), while only a minority of rounds have disclosed dollar figures.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed AI funding round in this Portland-focused list, and how far above the rest is it?
Aisles’ $30M round (Series A, dated 2024-05-18) is the clear top disclosed amount. The next-largest disclosed rounds shown are $6M (First Ascent Biomedical, 2025-01-13), then $3M (Sightglass, 2024-12-05) and $2M (Rewire Neuro, 2021-09-01), making Aisles’ disclosed amount significantly larger than the rest.
Are rounds clustered in a specific time window among these 12 rows?
Most of the dated activity shown clusters in the mid-to-recent period: 2023-12-15 (Shelpful) through 2025-07-17 (Regulate) includes multiple entries, including two sizable disclosed rounds ($30M on 2024-05-18 and $3M on 2024-12-05). The earliest disclosed-dollar entry appears later as well, with KinoTek in 2021-02-17 ($600K).
Does the city pattern skew strongly toward Portland, Oregon versus other geographies?
Portland, Oregon dominates: 9 of 12 rows list Portland, Oregon (including Porter Labs on 2026-02-12 and Aisles on 2024-05-18). The remaining entries include Portland, Maine (RxAnte on 2026-01-12 and KinoTek on 2021-02-17), making Maine a small subset relative to Oregon in this sample.
How much of the dataset lacks disclosed funding amounts or uses non-standard series labeling?
Out of 12 rows, 6 list “undisclosed” amounts (Porter Labs 2026-02-12; RxAnte 2026-01-12; Regulate 2025-07-17; Stitch Studio 2025-04-01; UMU 2021-11-01; plus one more undisclosed entry in the table). In addition, RxAnte is labeled “Series Unknown,” so both the amount and series clarity are uneven across the list.
Which stages appear most often among the disclosed rounds in this segment?
When focusing on disclosed amounts, Seed and Series A stand out: CleanHaus is Seed at $250K (2026-01-12), First Ascent Biomedical is Seed at $6M (2025-01-13), Sightglass is Seed at $3M (2024-12-05), Rewire Neuro is Seed at $2M (2021-09-01), while Aisles is the only disclosed Series A at $30M (2024-05-18). Other labeled stages shown include Pre-Seed (e.g., Porter Labs and Stitch Studio, both undisclosed; KinoTek at $600K).
Are there notable low-end outliers in disclosed amounts that contrast with the top rounds?
Yes: CleanHaus is $250K (Seed, 2026-01-12), which sits at the low end of the disclosed amounts alongside KinoTek’s $600K (Pre-Seed, 2021-02-17). Those low disclosed figures contrast with the mid-to-high disclosed cluster centered on Aisles’ $30M (2024-05-18) and First Ascent Biomedical’s $6M (2025-01-13).
