Basingstoke's funded startup landscape skews toward technology and infrastructure, with information technology appearing twice in recent rounds — CensorNet's Series C in February 2022 and RazorSecure's $3M raise in June 2021. The largest disclosed round in this set belongs to InfoSum, the advertising data-collaboration company that closed a $65M Series B in August 2021. More recent activity is concentrated in 2024, with natural resources firm Spotless Water raising $5M in June and EV charging operator InstaVolt closing an undisclosed round in January.
Stage transparency is limited across the set: two entries carry "Series Unknown" labels and two more list no round stage at all, which is typical for UK raises outside the London market where disclosure norms are less consistent. Sectors represented include energy, natural resources, advertising, commerce, and IT, pointing to a generalist funding environment rather than a single dominant vertical.

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed round among funded Basingstoke startups in this dataset?
InfoSum raised $65M in a Series B in August 2021, making it the standout raise by a significant margin. The advertising data-collaboration company is the only Basingstoke entry here with a raise above $5M.
Which sectors are represented among recently funded Basingstoke companies?
The six entries span natural resources (Spotless Water), energy (InstaVolt), information technology (CensorNet, RazorSecure), advertising (InfoSum), and commerce (Bakedin). IT is the only sector with more than one company in this set.
Are there funded cybersecurity or enterprise software companies based in Basingstoke?
Yes — CensorNet, which closed a Series C in February 2022, and RazorSecure, which raised $3M in June 2021, are both information technology companies headquartered in Basingstoke. CensorNet focuses on cloud security; RazorSecure targets cyber protection for rail and transport.
How recent is the Basingstoke funding activity shown here?
The two most recent rounds both closed in 2024 — Spotless Water's $5M raise in June and InstaVolt's undisclosed round in January. The earliest entry is Bakedin's $700K raise from July 2020.
Which rounds have confirmed series stage labels versus unknown or missing data?
Only CensorNet (Series C) and InfoSum (Series B) carry confirmed stage labels. Spotless Water and InstaVolt are tagged as Series Unknown, while RazorSecure and Bakedin have no stage listed at all — a pattern common in UK mid-market raises that fly under major database coverage.
What is the typical deal size for Basingstoke rounds outside the InfoSum outlier?
Excluding InfoSum's $65M Series B, the five remaining disclosed or partially disclosed rounds range from $100K (CensorNet) to $5M (Spotless Water), with InstaVolt's amount undisclosed. The cluster below $5M suggests most Basingstoke raises in this set are early- to growth-stage with limited public disclosure.
