Among the 16 listed rows, the largest disclosed amount is Tharimmune’s $55M round on 2026-01-20. That figure is an outlier relative to most other disclosed rounds in the table, where several entries cluster far below (for example $13M on 2026-04-13 for Oxbury Bank and $6M on 2026-05-12 for Infex Therapeutics; multiple others are $2M, $930K, or below).
Date patterns are concentrated near the top of the list: 11 of 16 rounds fall between 2023-06-19 and 2026-05-19, and the newest entry is Hunter Lawyers (Series Unknown) on 2026-05-19 for $930K. The geographic signal is mainly Chester, UK, but one distinct location appears in Chester, Nova Scotia (Chester Playhouse on 2023-08-27 for $2M) and one in Chester, Pennsylvania (Circonus on 2021-11-16 for $10M). Sector-wise, Health Care and Biotechnology recur (Infex Therapeutics on 2026-05-12 for $6M; Tharimmune on 2026-01-20 for $55M and again on 2024-12-06 for $2M), while Series Unknown is pervasive (12 of 16 rows) with one Seed (DebtStream, $2M on 2022-01-25) and one Series B (Circonus, $10M on 2021-11-16).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in these Chester listings, and how far above the rest is it?
The largest disclosed amount is Tharimmune’s $55M on 2026-01-20. It sits well above the next-largest disclosed figures shown, including Oxbury Bank’s $13M on 2026-04-13 and Infex Therapeutics’ $6M on 2026-05-12, while several other disclosed rounds are $2M or below.
Do the rounds cluster in a particular date window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They’re heavily weighted toward recent years: 11 of 16 rounds are dated between 2023-06-19 (iAM Compliant, $2M) and 2026-05-19 (Hunter Lawyers, $930K). The table also contains an older edge from 2021-05-05 (AeroCloud Systems, $2M) through 2021-11-16 (Circonus, $10M), indicating two distinct time clusters rather than an even spread.
Which sectors appear more than once, and what does that repetition imply for coverage of this area?
Biotechnology and related Health Care coverage repeats: Tharimmune appears twice (2026-01-20 for $55M and 2024-12-06 for $2M), and Infex Therapeutics is listed as Health Care on 2026-05-12 for $6M. Other sectors appear once in the rows shown (for example Oxbury Bank in Agriculture and Farming on 2026-04-13 for $13M).
How concentrated is the list geographically given multiple 'Chester' locations in the data?
Most rows specify Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom (e.g., Infex Therapeutics on 2026-05-12 for $6M; Avocet Battery Materials on 2026-04-09 for $810K). The main out-of-country pattern is a separate Chester, Nova Scotia entry (Chester Playhouse on 2023-08-27 for $2M) and one in Chester, Pennsylvania (Circonus on 2021-11-16 for $10M).
What stage mix dominates, and are there any notable non-'Series Unknown' exceptions?
Series Unknown appears in 12 of 16 rows, including Hunter Lawyers (2026-05-19, $930K) and Oxbury Bank (2026-04-13, $13M). The clearer exceptions are Tharimmune still labeled Series Unknown for both disclosed amounts, plus Wejo (Post-IPO Equity on 2022-07-28 for $16M), DebtStream (Seed on 2022-01-25 for $2M), and Circonus (Series B on 2021-11-16 for $10M).
Are there any rounds with 'undisclosed' amounts that stand out when compared to disclosed totals?
Yes: DataScope Systems is the only row marked 'undisclosed' (2024-09-02). Because the rest of the disclosed amounts span from $20K (Favela Cerveja on 2026-05-01) up to $55M (Tharimmune on 2026-01-20), this undisclosed entry is the main completeness outlier in amount visibility.
