The largest disclosed amount is Superior Wellness’s $3M (2025-08-06), which is substantially larger than the next-highest disclosed round, Magnavale’s $470K (2023-05-09); most other disclosed amounts sit well below $1M, including Digital Urban at $310K (2025-02-13) and Alertive at $5M (2024-12-18), with two entries showing undisclosed totals.
Geographically, Chesterfield appears twice (Superior Wellness on 2025-08-06 with $3M, and Magnavale on 2023-05-09 with $470K), while other towns (Tideswell, Ashbourne, Matlock, Swadlincote, Denby) appear once each.

Frequently asked
What stands out on size for recent Derbyshire rounds, and how does the top disclosed deal compare to the rest?
Superior Wellness closed the largest disclosed round at $3M on 2025-08-06. The next-highest disclosed amount is Magnavale’s $470K on 2023-05-09, with the remaining disclosed rounds clustered below that level (e.g., Digital Urban $310K on 2025-02-13 and Alertive $5M on 2024-12-18), plus two entries with undisclosed totals (VCTC and Cubo).
Are there temporal clusters in the dates shown for Derbyshire startups?
Three of the seven rounds are dated in late May 2023: Magnavale (2023-05-09, $470K), Cubo (2023-05-19, undisclosed), and VCTC (2023-05-26, undisclosed). Outside that window, only one round appears in 2024 (Alertive on 2024-12-18, $5M) and two in 2025 (Digital Urban on 2025-02-13, $310K; Superior Wellness on 2025-08-06, $3M).
Do any cities or sectors appear more frequently than others in this list?
Chesterfield is the only repeated town, with Superior Wellness (Chesterfield, 2025-08-06, $3M) and Magnavale (Chesterfield, 2023-05-09, $470K). Sector-wise, Health Care appears in three of seven rows (Superior Wellness, Alertive, and BERRI), while the other sectors shown—Hardware, Biotechnology, Real Estate, and Food and Beverage—appear once each.
How concentrated is the stage/category labeling, and what does that imply for deal comparability?
“Series Unknown” accounts for five of the seven rows, including BERRI (2023-06-07, $60K), Digital Urban (2025-02-13, $310K), VCTC (2023-05-26, undisclosed), Cubo (2023-05-19, undisclosed), and Magnavale (2023-05-09, $470K). Only one row is explicitly labeled Seed (Alertive, 2024-12-18, $5M) and one is “Series Unknown” for Superior Wellness (2025-08-06, $3M), so stage comparisons are limited.
Are there outliers that would merit deeper diligence beyond the average-check size?
Two entries are outliers because the amount is undisclosed: VCTC (Swadlincote, 2023-05-26) and Cubo (Denby, 2023-05-19). In disclosed terms, Alertive’s $5M (2024-12-18) and Superior Wellness’s $3M (2025-08-06) are materially larger than BERRI’s $60K (2023-06-07), indicating a split between smaller-ticket disclosed rounds and the largest disclosed rounds.
