Among the disclosed rounds in this Cheltenham list, the largest is PayItMonthly’s $13M round (2026-01-19), which sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts ($32M belongs to a different company, Adriatic Metals on 2023-08-08) and dwarfs the smaller disclosed figures like $510K (Versarien, 2024-01-19) and $340K (Bay’s Kitchen, 2025-10-10). Disclosed amounts also show a clear outlier pattern: only one company has a round above $10M disclosed, while several others cluster in the sub-$1M range (e.g., Versarien $510K; Bay’s Kitchen $340K).
In terms of clustering, five of the nine rows are “Series Unknown,” and two rounds are “undisclosed” (Ripjar on 2026-05-20; Digital Woof on 2023-05-09). Temporally, the nine entries span from 2023-04-04 (Studee, $21M) to 2026-05-20 (Ripjar), with multiple entries in 2023–2024 (Versarien 2024-01-19; Adriatic Metals 2023-08-08; Duku 2023-06-06; Digital Woof 2023-05-09; Studee 2023-04-04), while the most recent activity includes 2026-01-19 (PayItMonthly, $13M) and 2026-04-01 (Puredrive Energy, $150K).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the largest, and how does it compare to the rest of the Cheltenham entries shown?
The largest disclosed amount is Adriatic Metals at $32M on 2023-08-08. That level is well above the next-largest disclosed figures in the table, including PayItMonthly’s $13M (2026-01-19) and Studee’s $21M (2023-04-04), and it sits far higher than the sub-$1M rounds such as Versarien’s $510K (2024-01-19) and Bay’s Kitchen’s $340K (2025-10-10).
Are there any city or location patterns within Cheltenham (including repeats of the same name)?
Every row lists Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom or Cheltenham, United Kingdom; none point to a different city name. Within that, four entries explicitly include “Gloucestershire” (Ripjar on 2026-05-20; Puredrive Energy on 2026-04-01; Versarien on 2024-01-19; Adriatic Metals on 2023-08-08), while others omit “Gloucestershire” (e.g., Bay’s Kitchen on 2025-10-10).
How much of the list is “Series Unknown” or undisclosed, and what does that imply for interpreting round size?
Five of the nine rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (Ripjar, Puredrive Energy, PayItMonthly, Versarien, Adriatic Metals, plus Duku, Digital Woof, Studee also have “Series Unknown” labels), and two are “undisclosed” in amount (Ripjar on 2026-05-20; Digital Woof on 2023-05-09). Only seven rows provide a disclosed amount, so cross-company comparisons rely on a partial sample rather than all nine entries.
Which time window looks most concentrated among these recent Cheltenham rounds?
There’s a cluster in 2023–2024: Studee ($21M) closed on 2023-04-04, Digital Woof (undisclosed) on 2023-05-09, Duku ($60K) on 2023-06-06, Adriatic Metals ($32M) on 2023-08-08, and Versarien ($510K) on 2024-01-19. The most recent two disclosed amounts are PayItMonthly ($13M) on 2026-01-19 and Puredrive Energy ($150K) on 2026-04-01, with Bay’s Kitchen ($340K) appearing later in 2025-10-10.
Do any sectors appear repeatedly in this Cheltenham snapshot, and are they tied to the largest rounds?
Education appears twice (Digital Woof on 2023-05-09 and Studee on 2023-04-04), while no other sector repeats in three or more entries. The largest disclosed round is Natural Resources via Adriatic Metals ($32M on 2023-08-08), so the top-end amount is not concentrated in the repeated sector.
Are there size outliers that are worth separating from the typical disclosed-round range in this table?
Yes. Adriatic Metals’ $32M on 2023-08-08 is an outlier versus multiple sub-$1M disclosed rounds such as Versarien’s $510K (2024-01-19) and Bay’s Kitchen’s $340K (2025-10-10). PayItMonthly’s $13M (2026-01-19) is also well above most other disclosed amounts, while several entries are comparatively small (e.g., Duku at $60K on 2023-06-06).
