Across these 13 consumer electronics rounds in Palo Alto, the largest disclosed amount is PsiQuantum’s $1.0B Series E on 2025-09-09, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds (e.g., DevRev’s $101M on 2024-07-25 and Mimic Networks’ $50M on 2025-02-27). The list also shows a tight temporal clustering: 5 of the 13 entries (Prophet Security 2025-07-29; Mimic Networks 2025-02-27; Anjuna 2024-08-07; DevRev 2024-07-25; Inside-Out Defense 2023-04-12 is the only 2023 one) fall from 2024-07-25 through 2025-07-29, and 8 of the 13 rounds are dated 2022 or later.
Stage and disclosure patterns further separate the group: 2 of the 13 rounds are explicitly “undisclosed” (Inside-Out Defense on 2023-04-12; Unai on 2022-04-04), and 3 of the 13 are labeled “Series Unknown” (DevRev 2024-07-25; Zendure 2022-11-09; Isima 2020-08-04). Beyond PsiQuantum, the largest disclosed non-PSI outlier is HP at $4.2B on 2022-04-07, sitting in a different post-IPO equity classification than the rest.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds here, and how extreme are they versus the rest of the list?
PsiQuantum’s $1.0B Series E on 2025-09-09 is the top disclosed amount, and it sits far above the next-largest disclosed figures such as DevRev’s $101M (2024-07-25) and the $50M rounds at Mimic Networks (2025-02-27) and Instrumental (2022-02-16). A second major outlier is HP’s $4.2B post-IPO equity on 2022-04-07, which is much larger than the bulk of disclosed rounds that cluster around tens of millions.
Do most rounds cluster in a narrow window, or are they spread out across years?
The rounds span 2020-08-04 (Isima) through 2025-09-09 (PsiQuantum), but they concentrate heavily in the more recent period: 5 of the 13 entries are between 2024-07-25 and 2025-07-29, including DevRev ($101M, 2024-07-25) and Prophet Security ($30M, 2025-07-29). Older entries appear as single datapoints earlier in the period, such as Zendure ($5M, 2022-11-09) and VOOM Insurance ($15M, 2021-10-05).
Which companies use undisclosed or “Series Unknown” labels, and what fraction of the list does that represent?
2 of 13 rounds are explicitly undisclosed: Inside-Out Defense (2023-04-12) and Unai (2022-04-04). 3 of 13 rounds are labeled “Series Unknown”: DevRev (2024-07-25), Zendure (2022-11-09), and Isima (2020-08-04), so 5 of 13 entries (about 38%) do not map cleanly to a named stage.
Is there a stage mix pattern, or are there many one-offs in stage naming?
Named stages appear frequently, with multiple A/B/C occurrences alongside the E and post-IPO equity labels. For example, “Series A” shows up on Prophet Security (2025-07-29, $30M), Mimic Networks (2025-02-27, $50M), Keebo (2022-10-18, $11M), and VOOM Insurance is a Series B (2021-10-05, $15M), while Instrumental is a Series C (2022-02-16, $50M). Post-IPO equity is only seen once (HP, 2022-04-07, $4.2B), making it the clearest stage naming outlier.
Are there notable company-level outliers beyond pure size, such as classification differences?
Yes: HP’s $4.2B on 2022-04-07 is categorized as “Post-IPO Equity,” unlike the rest of the list that uses pre-IPO round names (e.g., PsiQuantum’s Series E on 2025-09-09 and Anjuna’s Series B on 2024-08-07). Another classification outlier is DevRev, which is listed as “Series Unknown” with a relatively large disclosed amount of $101M on 2024-07-25.
