Across the 40 most recent listed UK design-focused rounds, the largest disclosed amount is EO Charging’s $33M (Private Equity) on 2025-11-09, which sits well above the next-highest disclosed rounds of $23M (Flow Engineering, 2025-10-17) and $20M (HALO Technologies, 2024-02-27). A second pattern is concentration: London appears repeatedly (e.g., Myota 2026-06-23, RevEng 2026-05-27, Flow Engineering 2025-10-17, Thomas Storey 2023-11-09, Gravity Sketch 2022-04-19), while a tight $810K cluster appears twice on 2026-04-09 (RYSE 3D and Sarginsons).
Stage/category disclosures are also uneven: 14 of 40 rows are marked “Series Unknown” and 4 of 40 are “undisclosed” amounts, with multiple early-stage labels in the mix (Seed/Pre-Seed) such as Ascension ($1M, 2026-04-15), Peach Worlds ($1M, 2024-09-27), and Budibase ($7M, 2022-11-04). Temporally, the slice spans 2020-03-18 through 2026-06-23, ending with Myota on 2026-06-23.

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size in this list, and how far ahead is the biggest disclosed round?
EO Charging’s $33M (Private Equity) on 2025-11-09 is the top disclosed amount, followed by $23M (Flow Engineering, 2025-10-17) and $20M (HALO Technologies, 2024-02-27). The $33M figure is substantially higher than the rest of the disclosed amounts shown.
Which geography looks most over-represented among these funded design companies?
London shows up in multiple rows across years, including Myota (2026-06-23, $5M), RevEng (2026-05-27, $15M), Flow Engineering (2025-10-17, $23M), Thomas Storey (2023-11-09, $6M), and Gravity Sketch (2022-04-19, $33M). The list also includes several non-London cities (e.g., Glasgow for POTR 2025-05-20 at $670K), but London is the clearest repeated hub.
Are there any notable short windows where multiple rounds close at similar sizes?
Yes: two rounds on 2026-04-09 list the same disclosed amount of $810K—RYSE 3D and Sarginsons—creating a visible same-day size cluster. The list also repeatedly features London rounds in the 2025–2026 period (e.g., Flow Engineering 2025-10-17 at $23M and Myota/RevEng in mid-2026).
How dominant is “Series Unknown” versus disclosed stage labels in this UK design slice?
“Series Unknown” appears in 14 of 40 rows, while “undisclosed” amounts appear in 4 of 40 rows. Examples include Genius Group Limited at $8M (2026-04-17) and VyperCore marked “Series Unknown” with an undisclosed amount (2023-09-07), which makes cross-stage comparisons harder than the numeric amounts suggest.
What stage mix shows up among early-stage labels here, based on specific examples?
Early-stage labels are present in multiple entries: Seed rounds include Ascension ($1M, 2026-04-15), Trench Networks ($700K, 2021-07-12), and Budibase (Seed, $7M, 2022-11-04). Pre-Seed is also represented, such as Peach Worlds ($1M, 2024-09-27), indicating that the recent set is not purely late-stage.
Are there outliers that are worth flagging beyond just the largest disclosed amount?
EO Charging’s $33M (2025-11-09) is the clearest size outlier upward, but there are also materially smaller disclosed amounts among recent entries, such as Seedable Studio’s $130K (2025-03-04) and Motionspot/Duku at $60K (2023-06-07 and 2023-06-06). On disclosure completeness, some rows also lack amounts (“undisclosed”), including Tension Technology International Ltd (2025-06-02) and Atelier (2025-02-27), which can distort how extreme the visible ranges appear.
