In the 35 most recent funded consumer electronics rounds shown, Advanced Navigation’s disclosed $112M (Series C) on 2026-03-17 stands out: it is the only round above $100M, while the next-highest disclosed amounts include $67M (Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics on 2026-06-19) and $50M (Liquid Instruments on 2026-04-28). The list also clusters geographically and temporally: many rounds concentrate in Sydney (e.g., Diraq on 2026-05-21 for $38M; JOLT on 2025-02-24 for $137M; and Silex Systems on 2023-03-03 for $81M), and several large rounds appear in 2025–2026 (notably four disclosed rounds above $100M from 2025-02-24, 2026-03-17, and 2026-06-19/2026-05-21 as shown). Outliers include very small disclosed rounds such as Contactile’s $180K on 2025-06-12 and Nucanon’s $330K on 2024-05-04, sitting alongside mega-rounds. Stage/series labels are also dominated by “Series Unknown” (27 of 35 entries), with other visible stages spanning Series C, Seed, Series A, Private Equity, and Pre-Seed; the timeframe runs from 2020-07-21 (Propeller Aero, $18M) through 2026-06-19 (Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics, $67M).

Frequently asked
What does the size distribution look like—any round that clearly dominates the rest?
Advanced Navigation’s $112M (2026-03-17, Series C) is the only disclosed round above $100M. The next-largest disclosed amounts are materially lower, such as $67M for Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (2026-06-19) and $50M for Liquid Instruments (2026-04-28).
Do rounds cluster in particular cities, or is investment spread across many locations?
Sydney repeats across multiple large and small deals, including Diraq ($38M on 2026-05-21), JOLT ($137M on 2025-02-24), Silex Systems ($81M on 2023-03-03), and Atomos’ city match only in Carlton (not Sydney) while still showing state-level concentration in NSW. Other repeated hubs include Victoria (e.g., Hydrix in Carnegie for $3M on 2026-05-18; The simPRO Group in Eight Mile Plains for $350M on 2021-11-23).
Are there any noticeable time windows where funding appears more concentrated?
The most recent period (2026) includes multiple disclosed rounds, including Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics ($67M on 2026-06-19), Diraq ($38M on 2026-05-21), Skyborne Technologies ($7M on 2026-05-11), and Advanced Navigation ($112M on 2026-03-17). The span shown across the 35 rows runs from 2020-07-21 through 2026-06-19, but the largest disclosed rounds are concentrated in 2025–2026.
How does stage disclosure look—are specific series types more common than others?
“Series Unknown” dominates the listing with 27 of 35 entries, including Hydrix ($3M on 2026-05-18) and JOLT ($137M on 2025-02-24). Among the labeled rounds, Series C appears more than once (Liquid Instruments $50M on 2026-04-28; Advanced Navigation $112M on 2026-03-17; JET Charge $45M on 2024-12-19).
Any small-size outliers that contrast sharply with the largest rounds?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amounts include Contactile’s $180K (2025-06-12) and Nucanon’s $330K (2024-05-04), which sit far below the top-end disclosed rounds like Advanced Navigation’s $112M (2026-03-17) and JOLT’s $137M (2025-02-24).
