Disclosed round sizes in Chicago’s data-and-analytics slice are uneven: G2’s $157M round dated 2021-06-22 is the largest disclosed amount, and it sits far above the rest, where most visible figures cluster between $2M and $31M (e.g., Civis Analytics $31M on 2021-09-27; Network Perception $13M on 2022-05-02). The only clearly higher step-up besides G2 is Dscout’s $70M on 2022-03-17; other large entries include Upfront Healthcare Services at $11M (2022-09-06) and Ubiety Technologies at $10M (2025-01-07).
The list of 23 rows spans 2020-06-25 through 2025-01-07, and several companies surface in a tight 2024 window: definity ($5M, 2024-08-14), Benchmark Analytics (undisclosed, 2024-07-10), $://THeXDesK (undisclosed, 2024-02-07), and SalonInteractive ($10M, 2024-01-10). Stage signals are also mixed: five of the 23 rows show amounts as “undisclosed” (Benchmark Analytics 2024-07-10; $://THeXDesK 2024-02-07; HAAS Alert 2024-01-08; NorthStar 2022-10-13; Omeda 2022-08-02).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in this Chicago data-and-analytics set, and how far above the next-largest disclosed amount is it?
G2’s $157M round (2021-06-22) is the highest disclosed amount in the 23-row view, dwarfing all other disclosed figures. The next-largest disclosed amount is Dscout’s $70M (2022-03-17), which is still far below G2.
How concentrated are deals in the most recent part of the timeline (and who appears there)?
The view runs from 2020-06-25 (Capital Markets Gateway, $25M) through 2025-01-07 (Ubiety Technologies, $10M). In 2024, multiple entries cluster around the middle of the year—definify at $5M on 2024-08-14 and Benchmark Analytics on 2024-07-10 (undisclosed)—with additional 2024 datapoints like SalonInteractive at $10M (2024-01-10) and $://THeXDesK (undisclosed) on 2024-02-07.
Do you see a meaningful amount of “undisclosed” round sizes, and where do they fall?
Five of the 23 rows list the amount as “undisclosed” (Benchmark Analytics on 2024-07-10; $://THeXDesK on 2024-02-07; HAAS Alert on 2024-01-08; NorthStar on 2022-10-13; Omeda on 2022-08-02). These undisclosed entries appear across both 2024 and 2022, rather than being confined to a single period.
What are the smallest disclosed rounds in this list, and do they sit far from the rest?
The smallest disclosed amount shown is PromoShare’s $120K on 2023-11-02. That level is much lower than the rest of the disclosed rounds nearby—for example, Bridge To College at $400K (2022-01-10), and Tractiv at $2M (2021-12-13).
Which stage labels appear multiple times, suggesting a repeatable fundraising pattern in this dataset?
The stage label “Seed” shows up repeatedly: DataForge ($4M on 2023-09-12), MSPbots.ai ($5M on 2023-07-27), Bridge To College ($400K on 2022-01-10), and Tractiv ($2M on 2021-12-13). In contrast, several high-value disclosed rounds sit outside recurring labels, like Civis Analytics at Series B ($31M on 2021-09-27) and Dscout at Series C ($70M on 2022-03-17).
Where do the disclosed amounts tend to cluster once you exclude the biggest outliers (G2 and Dscout)?
Beyond G2’s $157M (2021-06-22) and Dscout’s $70M (2022-03-17), the disclosed rounds in the remaining rows generally fall in the $2M–$31M band, such as TeleTeachers at $2M (2022-11-23), Betsperts at $6M (2021-08-26), and Network Perception at $13M (2022-05-02). There are also a few smaller sub-$1M signals, including PromoShare at $120K (2023-11-02) and Bridge To College at $400K (2022-01-10).
