The disclosed deal sizes in this City of page show a pronounced outlier: Frontier IP Group plc’s $5.9B round (2026-06-17) dwarfs the rest of the disclosed figures, with only two rounds at or above $100M (Sigma Capital Group’s $354M on 2025-12-01 and Red Rock Renewables’ $83M on 2026-03-09). At the same time, the page is geographically clustered: Edinburgh appears in 12 of the 20 rows (including Wordsmith AI on 2026-08-05 with $14M, and BioCaptiva on 2026-03-09 with $2M), while Bristol accounts for 5 rows (including Reforged Studios on 2026-04-16 with $30M and Narwhal Labs on 2026-04-08 with $27M).
Temporally, the 20 most recent entries span 2025-10-16 to 2026-08-05, but 17 of those 20 rows fall in 2026. Stage labels are also skewed toward “Series Unknown” (16 of 20), with only one each for Series B (Wordsmith AI, 2026-08-05, $14M), Series A (Earth Blox, 2026-03-18, $8M), Pre-Seed (Hosel, 2026-03-10, $670K), and Seed (SynapseDx, 2026-01-21, $400K).
