Among the 46 disclosed rounds shown for Charlottesville, the largest disclosed amount is Contraline’s $93M (Series B, 2026-06-02). That single figure dwarfs most other disclosed deals, with only Apex Clean Energy at $73M (2026-06-15), Rhoback at $50M (2026-06-15), and Bonumose at $35M (2023-10-11) sitting in the same broader magnitude; multiple other companies cluster far below that level (for example, Icarus Medical Innovations at $7M on 2026-06-17 and several $3M–$6M rounds between 2024 and 2025).
The list also shows time clustering at the top: 2026 accounts for a large share of the newest activity, and multiple rounds land within mid-June 2026 (Apex Clean Energy $73M on 2026-06-15; Rhoback $50M on 2026-06-15; Contraline $93M on 2026-06-02; Icarus Medical Innovations $7M on 2026-06-17). Stage disclosure is mixed, with “Series Unknown” appearing frequently (18 of 46 rows) and “undisclosed” amounts appearing 3 times (Syntrillo 2024-10-08; Legacy Food Group 2023-09-08; PS Fertility 2023-06-26). Sector-wise, Biotechnology appears most often (11 of 46 entries), standing out from the more fragmented mix of other categories. Dates span 2021-01-26 (Mission Secure $6M) to the most recent 2026-06-25 (Habitat Charlottesville Store $200K).

Frequently asked
What stands out about deal size in the most recent Charlottesville entries?
The largest disclosed round is Contraline’s $93M (Series B, 2026-06-02), which is far above the next-largest disclosed amount of $73M (Apex Clean Energy, 2026-06-15). Only Rhoback at $50M (2026-06-15) and Adial Pharmaceuticals at $32M (2026-06-11) fall into the same higher-disclosed range; many other deals cluster in the single-digit millions or below (for example, Icarus Medical Innovations $7M on 2026-06-17; RIIG $6M on 2026-04-21).
Are there any tight temporal clusters among the newest rounds?
Yes. Several large rounds close within a narrow mid-June 2026 window: Contraline $93M (2026-06-02), Apex Clean Energy $73M (2026-06-15), and Rhoback $50M (2026-06-15), followed by Icarus Medical Innovations $7M on 2026-06-17. That grouping sits close to earlier 2026 activity such as Avant Genomics $3M (Seed, 2026-05-13) and Thorne Labs $9M (Series B, 2025-10-21).
How common are undisclosed or non-specified round classifications, and what does that imply for interpretation?
“Series Unknown” appears in 18 of 46 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear 3 times (Syntrillo on 2024-10-08; Legacy Food Group on 2023-09-08; PS Fertility on 2023-06-26). Because those rows do not support size comparisons, disclosed-amount patterns are most reliable for the remaining 40 rows with stated amounts (e.g., the $200K lows like Habitat Charlottesville Store on 2026-06-25 and multiple ~$200K rounds).
Which sectors are over-represented relative to the rest of the list?
Biotechnology leads with 11 of 46 entries (for example, Contraline $93M in 2026, Adial Pharmaceuticals $32M in 2026, Bonumose $35M in 2023, and Rivus Pharmaceuticals $132M in 2022). Other sectors show up repeatedly but more sporadically, such as Financial Services (e.g., Pearl Certification $6M on 2024-06-07 and Cosaic $4M on 2023-01-25) and AI/Data & Analytics, each appearing in multiple entries without matching Biotechnology’s count.
Is there a notable outlier when looking at the smallest disclosed deal versus the rest?
The smallest disclosed amount is $20K from Transfoam (Grant, 2022-05-12). That grant-scale figure is much lower than most other disclosed rounds, including $1M–$4M rounds like Rho Impact $1M (Pre-Seed, 2023-11-20) and ArcheMedX $1M (Venture - Series Unknown, 2021-08-20), while still sitting far beneath the upper tier defined by Contraline’s $93M (2026-06-02) and Apex Clean Energy’s $73M (2026-06-15).
How far back do the listed rounds span, and where do the newest and oldest entries land?
The shown rounds span from 2021-01-26 (Mission Secure, Hardware, Series B, $6M) to 2026-06-25 (Habitat Charlottesville Store, Other, Series Unknown, $200K). The newest batch includes multiple 2026 entries concentrated in April through June (e.g., RIIG $6M on 2026-04-21 and Icarus Medical Innovations $7M on 2026-06-17), indicating the list is heavily weighted toward recent fundraising dates.
