Budapest's 29 rounds in this dataset span June 2020 through September 2025, covering sectors from AI and biotechnology to energy and fintech. The range in deal size is extreme: Ubives raised $10K at Pre-Seed in July 2024; 4iG closed $887M in Post-IPO Debt in December 2021 — a public-market raise distinct from the venture stack. Among pure venture rounds, SEON's $80M Series C (September 2025) and Bitrise's $60M Series C (November 2021) sit at the top.
Early-stage deals dominate by count, with five Pre-Seed and six Seed rounds visible. AI appears three times (SEON, Turbine, Scraping Robotics), apps five times. Eleven rounds closed in 2024 or 2025, anchored by SEON's $80M, BIG Mega Renewable Energy's $50M Series Unknown (May 2024), and PastPay's $13M Series A (September 2024).
