Among the five most recent Danbury-based entries, the largest disclosed round is Perosphere Technologies’ $8M on 2024-01-03, which sits above FuelCell Energy’s $7M (2022-02-24) and clearly larger than United Way of Western Connecticut’s $1M (2023-06-22). A second notable pattern is concentration by time: four of the five rows fall between 2023-06-22 and 2024-01-03, with three “undisclosed” rounds clustered in late 2023 (LesserEvil on 2023-09-20 and Hillside Food Outreach on 2023-08-16, plus United Way on 2023-06-22). Sector mix also shows clustering around Food and Beverage and Community and Lifestyle, each appearing alongside Health Care and Energy. Disclosures skew toward “Series Unknown” and non-disclosed amounts: three of five rounds list Series Unknown, and two of five amounts are undisclosed.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round looks like an outlier in size within Danbury’s most recent entries?
Perosphere Technologies’ $8M on 2024-01-03 is the largest disclosed amount, followed by FuelCell Energy’s $7M on 2022-02-24, while the next disclosed figure is United Way of Western Connecticut’s $1M on 2023-06-22.
Are the recent rounds clustered into a narrow date window?
Yes. Four of the five rows were dated between 2023-06-22 (United Way of Western Connecticut) and 2024-01-03 (Perosphere Technologies), with the late-2023 gap populated by undisclosed Food and Beverage rounds at 2023-08-16 (Hillside Food Outreach) and 2023-09-20 (LesserEvil).
How much of the list is disclosed vs. undisclosed on amount and round classification?
Two of five amounts are undisclosed (LesserEvil on 2023-09-20 and Hillside Food Outreach on 2023-08-16). On stage, three of five rows use “Series Unknown” (Perosphere Technologies, LesserEvil, Hillside Food Outreach), while FuelCell Energy is marked as a “Grant” (2022-02-24).
Does any sector appear repeatedly enough to stand out in this Danbury slice?
Food and Beverage appears twice: Hillside Food Outreach (2023-08-16, undisclosed) and LesserEvil (2023-09-20, undisclosed). Other sectors in the five rows show up once each: Health Care (Perosphere Technologies), Energy (FuelCell Energy), and Community and Lifestyle (United Way of Western Connecticut).
What does the stage mix imply for comparing rounds across this list?
Because three rows are labeled “Series Unknown” and two have undisclosed amounts, comparisons are constrained to the few disclosed figures: $8M (Perosphere Technologies, 2024-01-03), $7M (FuelCell Energy, 2022-02-24), and $1M (United Way of Western Connecticut, 2023-06-22).
