Secondary market transactions in AI span a notable disclosed range within this set — from Cruise's $2.1B deal in March 2022 down to nominal $100K figures recorded for Sift, Relativity Space, and FiscalNote. Six of the twelve rounds carry undisclosed amounts, including those for Gong, Highspot, Outreach, and MiQ, which is typical for secondary block sales that occur outside primary fundraising timelines.
The companies represented span sales intelligence (Gong, Highspot, Outreach), fraud detection (Sift), autonomous vehicles (Cruise), legal research (vLex), and industrial data (Cognite). San Francisco accounts for three entries — Gong, Cruise, and Sift — while Seattle contributes two (Highspot, Outreach). International coverage includes Cognite in Lysaker, Norway; vLex in Barcelona; MiQ in London; and Indus Insights in Haryana, India. Activity across these twelve rounds runs from September 2021 through September 2022.

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed secondary transaction in this AI dataset?
Cruise's $2.1B secondary round in March 2022 is the largest disclosed figure in this set by a wide margin. The next largest are Cognite at $113M (February 2022) and Optimove at $75M (September 2021).
How many of these AI secondary rounds actually disclosed a transaction size?
Six of the twelve rounds disclose a dollar amount — Cruise ($2.1B), Cognite ($113M), Optimove ($75M), Sift ($100K), Relativity Space ($100K), and FiscalNote ($100K). The other six, including Gong, Highspot, Outreach, vLex, MiQ, and Indus Insights, list amounts as undisclosed.
Where are most of these AI companies headquartered?
Eight of the twelve are US-based. San Francisco leads with three — Gong, Cruise, and Sift — and Seattle accounts for two (Highspot, Outreach). Washington DC (FiscalNote), Long Beach (Relativity Space), and New York (Optimove) each contribute one entry.
Which non-US markets appear in this secondary AI funding data?
Four companies are headquartered outside the US: Cognite in Lysaker, Norway; vLex in Barcelona, Spain; MiQ in Holborn, London; and Indus Insights in Haryana, India. Cognite's $113M round is the largest disclosed non-US figure in the set.
Why do Sift, Relativity Space, and FiscalNote all show $100K round amounts?
All three log $100K — a figure disproportionately small relative to the known scale of those companies. In secondary market filings, $100K entries often reflect minimum-size block trades or partial transfer disclosures rather than the full transaction value, though the underlying data does not specify the reason.
What date range does the secondary AI activity in this set cover?
The twelve rounds span from September 2021 — FiscalNote on September 9 and Optimove on September 27 — through September 2022, with MiQ closing on September 13, 2022. Four of the transactions cluster in Q1 2022: Cognite, Relativity Space, Sift, and Cruise.
