Among the 16 most recent Sydney consumer electronics entries, the largest disclosed round is Advanced Navigation’s $112M on 2026-03-17. That figure stands out because it is well above the next-largest disclosed amounts in the set (Diraq $38M on 2026-05-21 and DroneShield $40M on 2023-03-07), while several other disclosed rounds sit far lower (e.g., Visionary Machines at $2M in 2025-07-18 and Kontaktile at $180K in 2025-06-12).
The rounds also cluster tightly in time: 2023–2026 accounts for all 16 shown entries, with multiple high-disclosure rounds appearing in 2025 (e.g., JOLT $137M on 2025-02-24 and Kasada $20M on 2025-12-09) and a smaller set in early 2023 (Silex Systems $81M on 2023-03-03 and DroneShield $40M on 2023-03-07). Stage labels are heavily non-specified: 14 of 16 rows show “Series Unknown,” plus one “Pre-Seed” (Nucanon $330K on 2024-05-04) and one “Pre-Seed” that is undisclosed (NOA The Brand, 2024-02-08).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Sydney consumer electronics set, and how does it compare with the next-largest disclosed amounts?
Advanced Navigation’s $112M round on 2026-03-17 is the largest disclosed amount in the 16-row set. The next-largest disclosed amounts are in a noticeably lower band: DroneShield’s $40M on 2023-03-07 and Diraq’s $38M on 2026-05-21.
Do the rounds concentrate into a narrow recent time window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They skew toward the most recent years, spanning 2020-12-02 (Prospecta) through 2026-06-19 (Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics). Within that, 2025 includes multiple large disclosed rounds (JOLT $137M on 2025-02-24; Visionary Machines $2M on 2025-07-18; Kontaktile $180K on 2025-06-12), indicating heavier clustering in the 2025–2026 portion than the earlier years.
Which disclosed amounts look like outliers compared with the rest of the list?
Contactile’s $180K on 2025-06-12 and Nucanon’s $330K on 2024-05-04 are far below the dominant $20M–$100M+ disclosed range seen in entries like Silex Systems ($81M, 2023-03-03) and JOLT ($137M, 2025-02-24). On the high end, JOLT’s $137M on 2025-02-24 is also an outlier relative to the many sub-$40M rounds (e.g., Kasada $20M on 2025-12-09).
How does stage labeling break down—does any stage dominate, or are most rounds “Series Unknown”?
“Series Unknown” dominates: 14 of 16 rows are labeled “Series Unknown,” including large disclosed rounds such as JOLT ($137M on 2025-02-24) and Advanced Navigation ($112M on 2026-03-17). The remaining labeled entries are Pre-Seed (Nucanon $330K on 2024-05-04 and NOA The Brand on 2024-02-08 as undisclosed) plus Seed (Inspace XR $4M on 2023-07-04) and Series A (Forcite Helmet Systems $4M on 2022-02-10).
What proportion of this list has an undisclosed amount, and where does it appear chronologically?
Only one row is undisclosed: NOA The Brand on 2024-02-08. All other disclosed amounts in the 16 rows are specified numerically, enabling comparisons against the largest disclosed round (Advanced Navigation $112M on 2026-03-17).
