Disclosed funding in this Boston consumer electronics slice is dominated by a single outlier: SimpliSafe’s $200M debt financing on 2022-05-06, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds (Zapata Computing’s $31M on 2020-11-19 and Zerto’s $33M on 2020-06-18). Outside that exception, many disclosed rounds sit between $2M and $18M, including Corvus Robotics at $18M (2024-10-08) and multiple $3M–$5M rounds such as Shypyard at $3M (2022-07-27) and Smoodi at $5M (2022-12-02).
Temporal and disclosure patterns also stand out. Across 19 rows, rounds span 2020-06-18 (Zerto) through 2025-07-16 (Cleo Robotics). A cluster forms in late 2022: Smoodi ($5M on 2022-12-02), HYCU (undisclosed on 2022-10-17), and SimpliSafe ($200M on 2022-05-06) together anchor the heaviest period, while 5 of 19 entries are “undisclosed” (e.g., Cleo Robotics 2025-07-16; Fourier 2025-04-11), and multiple entries carry “Series Unknown” (8 of 19, including Fourier 2025-04-11 and Advent Technologies 2024-08-05).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Boston consumer electronics list, and how far above the rest is it?
SimpliSafe’s $200M debt financing (2022-05-06) is the only disclosed amount in the hundreds of millions here, far above the next-largest disclosed rounds of $33M (Zerto, 2020-06-18) and $31M (Zapata Computing, 2020-11-19).
Do rounds cluster in a particular date window, or are they evenly spread from 2020 to 2025?
They’re not evenly spread: late 2022 is dense, with SimpliSafe at $200M on 2022-05-06, Shypyard at $3M on 2022-07-27, HYCU (undisclosed) on 2022-10-17, MOON Ultra at $15M on 2022-12-08, and Smoodi at $5M on 2022-12-02.
How much of the set is disclosed versus undisclosed, and does disclosure correlate with specific recent quarters?
Five of 19 entries are explicitly “undisclosed,” including the two most recent rows: Cleo Robotics (2025-07-16) and Fourier (2025-04-11). In contrast, several of the older disclosed rounds are clearly quantified, like Zapata Computing ($31M, 2020-11-19) and Zerto ($33M, 2020-06-18).
What stage mix dominates among the named rounds, given the high share of ambiguous classifications?
“Series Unknown” appears in 8 of 19 entries (e.g., Fourier 2025-04-11; Advent Technologies 2024-08-05; Aliro Technologies 2023-10-10). Among explicitly labeled stages with amounts, Series A and B are visible but not as consistent as the classification uncertainty, e.g., Corvus Robotics (Series A, $18M on 2024-10-08) and MOON Ultra (Series B, $15M on 2022-12-08).
Are there other outliers besides the $200M debt financing?
Yes, but they’re smaller outliers rather than the same magnitude: several early funding rounds exceed the mid-range, including Zerto at $33M (2020-06-18) and Zapata Computing at $31M (2020-11-19), while most other disclosed amounts fall closer to the $2M–$18M band such as Knowledge AI ($2M, 2023-05-24) and Corvus Robotics ($18M, 2024-10-08).
