The 12 post-IPO equity rounds in this set span October 2021 through October 2022, with deal sizes ranging from Guardforce AI's $1M close in Bangkok to Sema4's $200M round in Stamford, Connecticut. Life sciences applications account for a notable cluster: Recursion Pharmaceuticals ($150M, Salt Lake City), Exscientia ($100M, Oxford), and Sema4 all raised nine-figure sums within this 13-month window.
Six of the 12 companies are US-headquartered, across cities including Berkeley (Rigetti Computing, $100M), Detroit (Amesite), and San Francisco (OneMarket). The remaining six span five countries — Brazil, Canada, Thailand, Israel, and the United Kingdom — with Israeli companies Arbe ($100M, Tel Aviv) and IR-MED (Rosh Pinna) both represented. Round sizes diverge significantly: four companies raised $100M or more while five raised under $5M, a spread that reflects varied capital needs among public AI companies seeking additional equity after their IPOs.
