Debt rounds shown here span from 2022-10-04 through 2022-10-27 (50 entries). The largest disclosed round is Jonah Energy’s $750M debt financing on 2022-10-20, which dwarfs the next-highest disclosed amounts in the list (e.g., JSW Steel USA’s $182M on 2022-10-27, Achieve’s $225M on 2022-10-20, and Flexport’s $200M on 2022-10-20). At the other end of the disclosed range, Franklin Apprenticeships’ $50K debt financing on 2022-10-19 sits near the bottom (Rev elry Games’ $40K on 2022-10-05 is even smaller).
Sector-wise, “AI” appears repeatedly (Icertis 2022-10-25 $75M; Tempus 2022-10-20 $175M; Anonos 2022-10-19 $50M; Zuma 2022-10-15 $2M; App Orchid 2022-10-13 $8M; Bloomreach 2022-10-04 $30M), while the geographies skew toward single-city entries rather than repeated same-city clusters (e.g., multiple Bay Area cities show up—San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, San Ramon—without a single city dominating). The heaviest concentration by date is the 2022-10-20 window, where multiple large rounds close (Achieve $225M; Flexport $200M; Tempus $175M; Jonah Energy $750M), making that week a notable cluster within the month.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed debt financing in this list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Jonah Energy’s $750M debt financing (2022-10-20) is the largest disclosed amount and is far above the other high disclosed rounds, such as Achieve’s $225M (2022-10-20), Flexport’s $200M (2022-10-20), and JSW Steel USA’s $182M (2022-10-27). The next tier still has large deals, but nothing in this set comes close to the $750M peak.
Are there obvious date clusters, or are these evenly distributed across the month?
The dates concentrate heavily around mid-to-late October 2022, with the densest cluster at 2022-10-20 (Achieve $225M, Flexport $200M, Tempus $175M, and Jonah Energy $750M all land on the same date). More generally, the full visible range runs from 2022-10-04 (e.g., Bloomreach $30M; National Funding $125M) to 2022-10-27 (JSW Steel USA $182M).
Which sectors show repeated presence, and which ones look like one-offs?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears most consistently, with multiple entries across dates: Icertis $75M (2022-10-25), Tempus $175M (2022-10-20), Anonos $50M (2022-10-19), Zuma $2M (2022-10-15), App Orchid $8M (2022-10-13), and Bloomreach $30M (2022-10-04). By contrast, sectors like Agriculture and Farming (Biery Cheese $40M on 2022-10-04) appear only once in the rows shown.
Are any geographies over-represented, or do deals spread across many cities?
The list is broad geographically with no single city repeatedly dominating; for example, California locations are distributed across San Francisco (Flexport $200M on 2022-10-20; Zuma $2M on 2022-10-15), Palo Alto (Step $300M on 2022-10-11), Menlo Park (Astra $30M on 2022-10-13), Mountain View (Bloomreach $30M on 2022-10-04; Kodiak Robotics $30M on 2022-10-11), and San Ramon (App Orchid $8M on 2022-10-13).
What outliers matter for screening, including both high-end and low-end disclosed rounds?
High-end outliers include Jonah Energy’s $750M (2022-10-20), and, just below that tier, several six-figure-to-hundreds-of-millions rounds like Achieve $225M (2022-10-20) and Flexport $200M (2022-10-20). On the low end, Franklin Apprenticeships’ $50K (2022-10-19) is near the smallest disclosed amounts in the set, with Revelry Games’ $40K (2022-10-05) even lower.
