Across these 27 recently dated private-equity rounds in consumer electronics, one disclosed check stands out: NetSPI at $410M (2022-10-05), which is substantially larger than the next-largest disclosed amounts (Vantaca at $300M on 2025-10-18, and The simPRO Group at $350M on 2021-11-23). The disclosed amounts also include a long low-end: the smallest disclosed rounds are multiple $100K entries (e.g., Eyelit on 2022-03-22 and Lightspeed Systems on 2022-03-02), sitting far below the $189M NEFCO (2022-08-10) and $36M Iceotope (2022-07-06).
Date-wise, the listing spans 2021-10-13 (eGroup) through 2025-10-18 (Vantaca), with a heavy concentration in 2022: several entries cluster between 2022-08-02 (FRONTSTEPS) and 2022-10-10 (Laxton), including multiple disclosed sizes around $100M (Malwarebytes $100M on 2022-09-21; NEFCO $189M; Neon $106M on 2022-10-25). Geographically, the strongest single-country concentration in this slice is the United States, but the segment also includes major non-US placements (JobLogic in the UK on 2025-09-11 at $135M; Neon in Singapore on 2022-10-25 at $106M). Disclosure is uneven: 10 of 27 entries are “undisclosed” (e.g., Laxton on 2022-10-10; Stratix Corporation on 2022-09-16; Revalize on 2021-11-17).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed private-equity round in this consumer-electronics slice, and how does it compare to the rest?
NetSPI’s $410M round (2022-10-05) is the largest disclosed amount shown, and it’s substantially above the next-largest disclosed checks in the table, including The simPRO Group’s $350M (2021-11-23) and Vantaca’s $300M (2025-10-18).
Do the rounds cluster in a narrow time window, or are they spread evenly across years?
They’re concentrated around 2022: multiple entries fall between 2022-07-06 (Iceotope) and 2022-10-10 (Laxton), including NetSPI on 2022-10-05 and Neon on 2022-10-25. The overall range spans 2021-10-13 (eGroup) to 2025-10-18 (Vantaca), but the densest activity is clearly the 2022 window.
Which entries look like outliers in disclosed deal size?
The low-end outliers are several $100K disclosed rounds (Eyelit 2022-03-22; Lightspeed Systems 2022-03-02; Gamma Technologies 2022-02-09; Doxee 2021-12-09; Bright Star Studios 2021-12-06; DAXKO 2021-10-19; these are far below $189M NEFCO on 2022-08-10 and $36M Iceotope on 2022-07-06). On the other side, NetSPI’s $410M (2022-10-05) dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts.
Are there many undisclosed deals in this list, and what does that imply for interpreting “largest” comparisons?
Yes: 10 of 27 entries show “undisclosed” amounts (for example Laxton 2022-10-10, Stratix Corporation 2022-09-16, and Revalize 2021-11-17). As a result, comparisons like “largest” are limited to disclosed amounts; NetSPI’s $410M is the largest among disclosed rows, not necessarily across all 27 deals.
Which geography appears most often, and are there notable non-US concentrations?
The United States shows repeated entries (e.g., NetSPI in Minneapolis 2022-10-05 at $410M; NEFCO in East Hartford 2022-08-10 at $189M; Virtana in San Jose 2022-01-13 at $73M). At the same time, there are standout non-US placements such as JobLogic in the UK (Birmingham) on 2025-09-11 at $135M and Neon in Singapore on 2022-10-25 at $106M.
