Among the 50 most recent US corporate rounds shown, the only disclosed outlier by size is LanzaTech’s $500M round (2022-10-03). Everything else with disclosed amounts stays below $45M—for example, ePac Flexible Packaging raised $45M (2022-09-14) and Cherry Street Energy raised $40M (2022-10-13), while $30M and $26M are mid-single to mid-range signals (The Predictive Index $30M on 2022-09-12; Meditech $26M on 2022-09-15). Most other disclosed rounds cluster between $3M and $18M (e.g., Caplight $3M on 2022-10-25; Tavros Therapeutics $18M on 2022-10-12; Caelux $12M on 2022-09-23).
The timing edge is October–September 2022: many rounds land within a tight window (e.g., 2022-10-25 down through 2022-09-14), with $3M-level repeats such as Sightline Payments being undisclosed (2022-10-20) alongside disclosed $3M entries like Caplight (2022-10-25), Qventus $3M (2022-08-09), and Smart Soda $3M (2022-08-02). Geographically, San Francisco shows up repeatedly (Caplight 2022-10-25; Caelux is Pasadena but also multiple SF entries include Seasats 2022-10-19 and Sanity 2022-06-28), while the list also contains many undisclosed amounts: 25 of 50 rows are marked undisclosed, spanning sectors from Financial Services (Sightline Payments 2022-10-20) to AI (Weighs & Biases 2022-05-17).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed corporate round is the size outlier in this list, and how far above the next-largest disclosed amount does it sit?
LanzaTech’s $500M corporate round on 2022-10-03 is the clear size outlier. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $45M (ePac Flexible Packaging, 2022-09-14) and $40M (Cherry Street Energy, 2022-10-13), keeping nearly all other disclosed rounds well below the $50M level.
How much of the disclosed picture is missing due to undisclosed amounts, and does that skew toward certain parts of the date window?
Half of the rows (25 of 50) are marked “undisclosed,” including Sightline Payments (2022-10-20) and Avium (2022-10-14) in late October, as well as Apex.AI (2022-05-05) and Weights & Biases (2022-05-17) in May. Disclosures that are present still cluster heavily in 2022-09 through 2022-10 (e.g., ePac Flexible Packaging $45M on 2022-09-14; LanzaTech $500M on 2022-10-03; Caelux $12M on 2022-09-23).
Are there date clusters where many corporate rounds close close together in this dataset?
Yes. The densest period is late October through mid-September 2022, with multiple entries in consecutive days—for example, corporate rounds dated 2022-10-19 to 2022-10-14 include Seasats ($10M on 2022-10-19), Cherry Street Energy ($40M on 2022-10-13), and several undisclosed rounds (e.g., Avium on 2022-10-14 and Intertrust on 2022-10-12). Another tight window appears around 2022-09-14 to 2022-09-12 (ePac Flexible Packaging $45M on 2022-09-14 and The Predictive Index $30M on 2022-09-12).
Do any cities or metros show repeated presence, suggesting a geographic hub effect within this corporate-round list?
San Francisco appears more than once among the entries, including Caplight (2022-10-25), Seasats is in San Diego rather than SF, but Sanity is in San Francisco (2022-06-28) and Picus Security is also in San Francisco (2022-05-24). Other locations appear as singletons in this slice, but the recurrence of SF-based companies suggests a meaningful concentration compared with most cities that show only one entry.
Which sectors appear most often in this 50-row corporate-round slice, and do those sectors overlap with the biggest disclosed dollars?
Energy is the most frequent sector across the rows, showing up repeatedly (e.g., LanzaTech $500M on 2022-10-03, Cherry Street Energy $40M on 2022-10-13, and multiple undisclosed Energy rounds such as Universal Hydrogen on 2022-10-10). The largest disclosed amount is also in Energy (LanzaTech), tying the sector with the dataset’s biggest dollar signal.
What’s the practical range of disclosed amounts, and are the smallest disclosed rounds materially different from the rest of the disclosed set?
The smallest disclosed amount in the dataset is Smart Pipe at $7M (2022-05-02). Several other disclosed rounds sit close to the lower part of the range (e.g., Bolt Labs $9M on 2022-05-02; Passionflix $9M on 2022-09-02; Seasats $10M on 2022-10-19), while the main separation is between the mid-range cluster ($3M–$18M) and the outlier LanzaTech at $500M.
