Disclosed round sizes in these Austin consumer electronics entries are highly uneven: the largest disclosed amount is CesiumAstro at $65M (2024-06-18), and it is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Coherent Logix’s $85M (2023-03-07) is actually the largest, so correcting: the largest disclosed amount in the rows is Coherent Logix at $85M (2023-03-07), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts like CesiumAstro at $65M (2024-06-18) and Allen Control Systems at $30M (2025-03-27). Stage and deal visibility are also skewed: $7M–$9M rounds show up repeatedly (e.g., Knox $7M on 2025-07-10; Defectdojo $7M on 2024-09-25; Pani Systems $7M on 2024-08-09; Ambiq Micro $9M on 2023-09-12), while smaller seed/pre-seed rounds cluster near the floor of disclosed amounts ($100K Lightspeed Systems on 2022-03-02; $500K Starlight Charging on 2024-04-03).
Temporal spread runs from 2021-03-01 (Rollick) through 2025-08-05 (Prefix), with the most recent 12 months dominated by mid-to-late 2024 and mid-2025 closes (e.g., 2024-09-25 Defectdojo; 2024-06-18 CesiumAstro; 2025-06-10 Phoenix Semiconductor). In stage labeling, 12 of 25 rows are “Series Unknown” and 2 of 25 are “undisclosed” by amount, making disclosed-size comparisons most reliable for 21 rows; multiple companies also appear as Austin-based within the segment without any city variants shown.

Frequently asked
What stands out about deal sizes here—what’s the largest disclosed round, and how far above the rest is it?
Coherent Logix’s $85M (2023-03-07) is the largest disclosed amount in the 25-row set, and it clearly exceeds the next-largest disclosed rounds such as CesiumAstro’s $65M (2024-06-18) and Allen Control Systems’ $30M (2025-03-27). Multiple other rounds sit much lower, including several $4M–$9M outcomes like Closinglock $4M (2022-08-16) and Ambiq Micro $9M (2023-09-12).
Are there any outliers at the low end of disclosed amounts?
Yes. Lightspeed Systems’ $100K (2022-03-02) is the smallest disclosed amount, far below other low disclosed rounds like Techless at $550K (2023-07-13) and Starlight Charging at $500K (2024-04-03). Seed/pre-seed entries otherwise cluster around millions—for example, Knox $7M (2025-07-10) and Phoenix Semiconductor $6M (2025-06-10).
How concentrated are rounds in the most recent portion of the timeline?
The newest date shown is 2025-08-05 (Prefix, undisclosed), and a large share of entries fall within 2024-06-18 to 2025-07-10, including CesiumAstro $65M (2024-06-18), Defectdojo $7M (2024-09-25), and Knox $7M (2025-07-10). Earlier rounds extend back to 2021-03-01 (Rollick $9M), indicating a broad multi-year window rather than a single surge period.
What does the stage mix suggest, and how much of the dataset is hard to compare due to missing stage/amount?
Stage labeling is frequently incomplete: 12 of 25 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 2 of 25 have the amount marked “undisclosed” (Prefix 2025-08-05 and Baxter Planning 2024-05-21). For comparable disclosed amounts, several stages still cluster around seed/early outcomes—e.g., Windwalk Games Seed $5M (2024-10-10), Closinglock Seed $4M (2022-08-16), and Starlight Charging Pre-Seed $500K (2024-04-03).
Which rounds look grouped by disclosed size range rather than by stage label?
A clear mid-range cluster appears around $5M–$9M, including multiple $5M outcomes (Skyways $5M on 2025-06-26; Command Zero $5M on 2025-06-17; Windwalk Games $5M on 2024-10-10; LoudCrowd $5M on 2022-09-12) and several $7M rounds (Knox $7M on 2025-07-10; Defectdojo $7M on 2024-09-25; Pani Systems $7M on 2024-08-09). Larger disclosed outliers sit above this band, such as Coherent Logix $85M (2023-03-07) and CesiumAstro $65M (2024-06-18).
