Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Danbury list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?

Do these Danbury rounds cluster into a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread out?
They’re not evenly spread: four of the five rows fall between 2023-06-22 (United Way of Western Connecticut) and 2023-09-20 (LesserEvil). The remaining entry is materially later, FuelCell Energy on 2026-06-23.

How much of the disclosed signal is missing due to undisclosed amounts or undefined series?
All five rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (FuelCell Energy 2026-06-23 through United Way of Western Connecticut 2023-06-22). In addition, 2/5 rounds show “undisclosed” amounts: LesserEvil (2023-09-20) and Hillside Food Outreach (2023-08-16).
Are there recent entries (for example, within the most recent 90 days relative to the latest row), and what stands out?
Yes. Using the most recent date in the list (2026-06-23, FuelCell Energy), only the FuelCell Energy round falls within that immediate post-date window; the other four entries are in 2024-01-03 or earlier (Perosphere Technologies at $8M on 2024-01-03, and three in 2023).
