Funded Startups in Boulder

The five largest are Catalyze at $400M (March 2025, data and analytics), Vero Networks at $240M (February 2025, hardware), Enliven Therapeutics at $230M (June 2025, biotechnology), Electra at $186M (April 2025, energy), and LongPath Technologies at $162M (October 2024, energy). All five exceed $100M and span three distinct sectors, with no single vertical monopolizing the top of the range.

Energy and biotechnology each have roughly seven companies in the dataset and collectively account for the majority of capital raised. Energy alone includes Electra, Peregrine Energy ($115M), SMT Energy ($135M), LongPath Technologies, Bolder Industries, Radiant Labs, and Elephant Energy. Biotechnology names include Enliven Therapeutics, Enveda Biosciences (two separate rounds), OnKure Therapeutics ($65M), VitriVax, Think Bioscience, and Encision. AI-focused companies — Freeplay, Brightwave, Aidium, Quadratic, and Precog Data — form a smaller but active cluster primarily at seed to Series A.

Two companies appear twice in the 50 rows. Catalyze closed a $100M round in May 2024 and returned for a $400M raise in March 2025. Enveda Biosciences raised a Series B ($55M) in June 2024 followed by a Series C ($20M) in February 2025, compressing two growth-stage rounds into roughly eight months.

Nine companies raised seed rounds in the dataset. Sizes cluster between $2M and $6M — Fortius Metals ($2M), Motion.io ($3M), Jawa ($4M), Nitric ($5M), Freeplay ($6M), and Think Bioscience ($6M) are representative. Lagrange Labs is an outlier at $13M seed (May 2024). Sectors at seed span hardware, AI, manufacturing, food and beverage, and blockchain.

The majority of rounds carry a 'Venture - Series Unknown' or 'Series Unknown' label, which may reflect non-standard structures, convertible instruments, or undisclosed staging. Identifiable stage labels include nine seed rounds, three Series A rounds (Respondology, Brightwave, Aidium), three Series B rounds (Electra, Enveda Biosciences 2024, The Jackfruit Company), two Series C rounds (Meati Foods, Enveda Biosciences 2025), and one Pre-Seed (Zipper). Several rounds — including Ascend Analytics and Auddia — have no stage label at all.

Disclosed amounts span from $20K (Piña Designs, October 2024) to $400M (Catalyze, March 2025), a spread of roughly four orders of magnitude. At least four rounds list amounts under $1M, while seven exceed $100M. At least four entries are undisclosed entirely, including Bolder Industries, Precog Data, Zipper, and Ascend Analytics.
