Within Derby, the largest disclosed funding among the most recent entries is Norton Motorcycles’ $21M grant (2022-06-17), which dwarfs the other disclosed amounts shown, including Vigilant AI’s $770K (2025-11-05) and PlayerLands’ $200K (2020-08-11). The disclosures also show a stage-skew: only 2 of the 6 rows list disclosed amounts ($21M, $770K, $200K), while 3 of 6 are undisclosed and 1 is “Series Unknown.”
Dates span 2020-08-11 (PlayerLands) through 2025-11-05 (Vigilant AI), with multiple Derby rounds clustering in the 2022 window (Cooper Parry on 2022-07-04 and Norton Motorcycles on 2022-06-17). Sector coverage is limited and fragmented: “Transportation” appears twice (Angel Trains on 2024-03-26 and ATL on 2023-07-11), while other sectors are single-entry (AI/FinTech/Finance, Financial Services, Manufacturing, and Commerce and Shopping).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Derby here, and how does it compare to the other disclosed amounts?
Norton Motorcycles’ $21M grant (2022-06-17) is the clear disclosed outlier. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are Vigilant AI’s $770K (2025-11-05) and PlayerLands’ $200K (2020-08-11), with the remaining entries marked undisclosed.
How concentrated are the rounds by time in this Derby slice?
There’s a visible mid-range cluster around 2022: Norton Motorcycles closed on 2022-06-17 ($21M) and Cooper Parry followed on 2022-07-04 (undisclosed). Outside that, the list also stretches from PlayerLands (2020-08-11) to Vigilant AI (2025-11-05).
Are undisclosed or “Series Unknown” classifications driving uncertainty in this set?
Yes. Out of 6 rows, 3 are “undisclosed” amounts (Angel Trains on 2024-03-26; ATL on 2023-07-11; Cooper Parry on 2022-07-04), and 1 more row lists “Series Unknown” (ATL). Only 2 of 6 rows are both time-recent and disclosed at meaningful scale ($770K and $200K), aside from the $21M disclosed grant.
Which sectors are over-represented compared with single-entry categories?
Transportation is the only repeated sector in this slice, appearing twice: Angel Trains (2024-03-26, Transportation) and ATL (2023-07-11, Transportation). All other sectors shown occur once each (Artificial Intelligence/FinTech/Finance, Financial Services, Manufacturing, and Commerce and Shopping).
Which entry is the smallest disclosed round, and what does that imply versus the top disclosed?
PlayerLands’ $200K (2020-08-11) is the smallest disclosed amount in these rows. Against Norton Motorcycles’ $21M grant (2022-06-17), the smallest disclosed amount is far lower, while the other disclosed entry (Vigilant AI at $770K on 2025-11-05) remains in the sub-$1M range.
