Disclosed private equity rounds in AI skew heavily toward a single outlier: Kpler raised $202M on 2022-04-13, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount at $150M (Dental Monitoring, 2021-10-21). Beyond that top pair, most disclosed checks cluster below $72M, with only Well at $72M (2022-04-08) and Master Works at $40M (2022-03-01) breaking into the higher tier.
The time window in view runs from 2021-08-10 (SoftWorks) to 2026-06-30 (MDOTM), but disclosure is sparse in the newest period: only MDOTM’s $27M (2026-06-30) is disclosed, while Suno (2025-11-11) and Conifers.Ai (2025-10-30) are undisclosed. Geographic repetition also appears limited, with New York appearing in two entries (Suno is undisclosed in New York, and SoftWorks shows $22M on 2021-08-10).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed private equity round in this AI list, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Kpler’s $202M (2022-04-13) is the largest disclosed amount, and it is followed by Dental Monitoring’s $150M (2021-10-21). After that, the next disclosed figures step down to $72M (Well, 2022-04-08) and $40M (Master Works, 2022-03-01).
Are there clear outliers on the low end that affect how to interpret “typical” private equity size here?
Yes: Athics is the smallest disclosed entry at $100K on 2021-09-21, while multiple other companies sit in the $1M–$33M range (e.g., Fusemachines $1M on 2022-01-14; SuccessKPI $33M on 2022-01-13). That makes the distribution highly spread between $100K and the $202M top end.
Which entries fall near the most recent dates, and are amounts consistently disclosed there?
In the newest cluster, MDOTM is disclosed at $27M on 2026-06-30, while Suno (2025-11-11) and Conifers.Ai (2025-10-30) are undisclosed. This means disclosed sizing is not consistent across the latest entries, even though the segment timing is.
Is there any geographic over-representation (or repeated city) that stands out in this private equity AI set?
New York appears more than once: Suno is listed in New York (2025-11-11, undisclosed) and SoftWorks is also in New York with a disclosed $22M on 2021-08-10. Other cities in the list are generally single appearances based on the rows shown.
Do disclosed rounds cluster in a particular part of the calendar rather than being evenly spread from 2021 to 2026?
The disclosed high end is concentrated around early-to-mid 2022, including Kpler $202M (2022-04-13), Well $72M (2022-04-08), and Master Works $40M (2022-03-01). In contrast, the latest years shown (2025–2026) include undisclosed entries alongside MDOTM’s $27M (2026-06-30).
What stage mix dominates the list, and does it mirror the disclosed/undisclosed pattern?
Every row shown uses the same stage label: Private Equity, so there is no stage variation to separate deals by. However, disclosure varies: 15 of 21 rows show disclosed amounts (including $202M Kpler on 2022-04-13 and $100K Athics on 2021-09-21), while 6 of 21 are undisclosed (e.g., Suno 2025-11-11).
