Among the 50 most recent funded startups listed for Auckland, the largest disclosed round is Halter’s Series E on 2026-03-24 at $220M, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Auror at $49M on 2024-11-12 and Far North Solar Farm at $49M on 2024-08-27). At the same time, disclosed amounts cluster tightly at the low-to-mid single digits for many entries, while ultra-small disclosures also appear, including Hubbard Foods at $10K (2023-12-05) and Altered State Machine at $100K (2022-03-10). Sector-wise, information technology/software and AI show up repeatedly, and stage labels are frequently non-specific: 17 of 50 entries are “Series Unknown” and 5 of 50 entries show “undisclosed,” including Indus (2026-02-23) and OneReg (2026-02-03). The date window spans 2022-02-21 (Jarden) to 2026-06-02 (Datamasque), with especially dense activity in early 2026 (multiple rounds from Feb–Apr 2026).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in the Auckland list, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Halter’s disclosed Series E on 2026-03-24 is $220M, an outlier far above the rest of the disclosed rounds. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are $49M for Auror (2024-11-12) and $49M for Far North Solar Farm (2024-08-27), with many other disclosed entries in the $2M–$18M range (e.g., Scentian Bio and Hectre at $7M; Alimetry at $18M).
Are there concentrations in time, or is activity evenly spread across the full date range?
The rounds shown run from 2022-02-21 (Jarden, $40M) to 2026-06-02 (Datamasque, $4M), but the list is not uniform across time. Early 2026 is particularly dense, with multiple rounds in February–April 2026 such as Marloo ($10M on 2026-04-28), Caruso ($7M on 2026-04-15), Scentian Bio ($7M on 2026-04-08), and Halter ($220M on 2026-03-24).
Which stages dominate, and how often are stage amounts categorized as unknown or undisclosed?
Stage labels frequently lack specificity: 17 of 50 entries are “Series Unknown” (e.g., StretchSense on 2025-12-19 at $2M; Watchful on 2024-12-03 at $3M), and 5 of 50 entries are “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Indus on 2026-02-23; Exsurgo on 2023-06-22). Among the remaining labeled rounds, Series A appears multiple times (e.g., Datamasque on 2026-06-02 and Caruso on 2026-04-15), but it is not the only repeated label.
Do any sectors appear repeatedly across companies, suggesting a cluster beyond geography alone?
AI and information technology/software show repeated representation across different rounds and companies, such as Marloo (AI; $10M on 2026-04-28), Datamasque (Software; $4M on 2026-06-02), and Auror (AI; $49M on 2024-11-12). Agriculture and farming is another recurring theme (e.g., Halter at $220M on 2026-03-24 and Agovor at $2M on 2026-02-13), though it coexists with biotech (Scentian Bio at $7M on 2026-04-08; Alimetry at $18M on 2024-10-28).
Are there notable small-disclosure outliers, and do they change how to interpret the distribution of round sizes?
Yes. Extremely small disclosed amounts appear alongside much larger rounds, including Hubbard Foods at $10K (2023-12-05) and Timpi at $200K (2025-11-07), which sit far below the bulk of disclosed mid-single-digit figures (e.g., $2M rounds like Agovor on 2026-02-13 and Checkmate on 2024-09-17). These small disclosures reinforce that the list contains both early-stage or limited-size rounds and a small number of very large financings.
