The 11 most recent disclosed funding rounds from Australian-headquartered startups span from a $20K raise by Knowa in July 2024 to West African Resources' $102M close in that same month. The two most recent rounds both cleared seven figures: Fabra, a fashion and manufacturing startup, closed a $3M pre-seed on November 16, 2025, and OpenSolar, an energy and B2B software marketplace, raised $20M in October 2025.
Seed rounds are the most represented stage, accounting for five entries across hardware, food and beverage, advertising, and software — including Quasar Satellite Technologies ($6M, March 2023) and Clove ($3M, December 2023). Four rounds carry a "Series Unknown" classification that spans nearly the full size range in the dataset, from Mirai Solar at $30K to West African Resources at $102M, making stage-based filtering unreliable for a meaningful portion of the group.

Frequently asked
Which company raised the most capital among these 11?
West African Resources (Administrative Services) tops the set at $102M, classified as Series Unknown, closed July 12, 2024. OpenSolar follows at $20M (October 2025), and Quasar Satellite Technologies at $6M (March 2023).
What round stages appear most often in this dataset?
Seed is the most common stage, covering five of eleven rounds — Sauce, NeighborLytics, CLT Toolbox, Quasar Satellite Technologies, and Clove. Four additional rounds carry a Series Unknown label, which obscures stage precision for companies including West African Resources ($102M) and Mirai Solar ($30K).
Are there sectors with more than one funded company in this group?
Yes. Energy has two entries: OpenSolar ($20M, October 2025) and Mirai Solar ($30K, October 2024). Hardware also appears twice — Quasar Satellite Technologies ($6M) and CLT Toolbox ($2M) — both Seed rounds closed within a seven-month window in 2023.
How should the very small round sizes like $20K and $30K be read?
Knowa ($20K, Series Unknown, July 2024) and Mirai Solar ($30K, Series Unknown, October 2024) sit at the bottom of the disclosed range. Amounts at that level, particularly under a Series Unknown label, typically reflect angel checks, grants, or convertible instruments rather than priced institutional rounds.
What is the most recent funding activity in this dataset?
Fabra's $3M pre-seed on November 16, 2025 is the latest entry, followed by OpenSolar's $20M venture round on October 4, 2025. Both companies list operations across Australia and the Philippines.
