Frequently asked
Which company has the largest disclosed round in this Auvergne set, and how does it compare to the others?
Braincube’s $91M (2023-11-29) is the clear outlier, sitting well above the next-largest disclosed amount of Brenus Pharma’s $25M (2024-09-18). The remaining disclosed rounds are $6M (Carbios, 2025-11-06), $5M (Jet Metal Technologies, 2021-11-09), and $2M (4.71, 2023-09-20).
Is there a geographic or sector concentration in the cities and industries shown?
Yes on both. Biotech accounts for 3 of 5 entries (Carbios, Brenus Pharma, Braincube), while geography clusters around Issoire (Brenus Pharma $25M on 2024-09-18; Braincube $91M on 2023-11-29) and Clermont-ferrand (Carbios $6M on 2025-11-06; 4.71 $2M on 2023-09-20).
Do most of the rounds fall into a narrow time window, or are they spread out across years?
They’re spread across multiple years: Jet Metal Technologies closes on 2021-11-09 ($5M), then activity shows up again in 2023 (4.71 on 2023-09-20 for $2M; Braincube on 2023-11-29 for $91M), and continues into 2024 (Brenus Pharma on 2024-09-18 for $25M) and 2025 (Carbios on 2025-11-06 for $6M).
How does the stage mix look across these five most recent rounds?
“Series Unknown” appears in 3 of 5 entries (Carbios $6M on 2025-11-06; Braincube $91M on 2023-11-29; Jet Metal Technologies $5M on 2021-11-09). The remaining two are labeled more specifically: Brenus Pharma is “Series A” ($25M, 2024-09-18) and 4.71 is “Seed” ($2M, 2023-09-20).
Are there smaller rounds that stand out relative to the rest, worth a closer look from a sales or diligence perspective?
The two lowest disclosed amounts are 4.71’s $2M (Seed, 2023-09-20) and Jet Metal Technologies’ $5M (Debt Financing, 2021-11-09). Both are substantially below Carbios’ $6M (Series Unknown, 2025-11-06) and far below the $25M level reached by Brenus Pharma (2024-09-18) and the $91M outlier at Braincube (2023-11-29).
