The largest disclosed round in this Design-focused United States list is Zipper | Design, which shows $500K in 2024-05-01, while the rest of the disclosed amounts largely sit below the high hundreds of thousands to low tens of millions; several notable rounds cluster well under that ceiling (for example, ArcScore at $360K on 2026-06-22; ICE GEMS at $200K on 2026-05-28; and Crossroads Solar at $500K on 2024-03-13). A separate outlier appears at the high end of disclosed funding: Stoke Space | Design raised $510M on 2025-10-09, dwarfing other large disclosed rounds such as Homebound at $300M (2025-12-15) and Varda at $187M (2025-07-10).
Geographically, California is a clear concentration: multiple entries are based in San Francisco (Heliospace on 2026-03-05; Ickler Electric on 2025-06-12 is “Poway” but is California; and Homebound is “Santa Rosa”), with additional California locations including San Jose (ZutaCore, 2026-06-02 at $100M), Los Angeles (FCTRY LAb, 2025-03-11 at $8M; and MightyMeld, 2024-08-27 at $4M), and San Monica (Liquid Death, 2024-03-11 at $67M). Temporally, the 50-row window spans 2024-02-21 (MathBRIX) through 2026-06-22 (ArcScore), with especially heavy activity in mid-to-late 2025 and early 2026, and a mix of stage labels where “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts are recurring (15 entries are marked “Series Unknown,” and 9 entries are marked “undisclosed”).

Frequently asked
Do any entries share a tight time window, or is funding spread across the full date range?
While the listing spans 2024-02-21 (MathBRIX) to 2026-06-22 (ArcScore), there’s a noticeable density in late 2025 through early 2026—for instance, Soluna at $32M (2025-12-05) and Homebound at $300M (2025-12-15) sit near ZutaCore at $100M (2026-06-02) with several interim rounds across 2026-01 through 2026-03.
Is there a city or state cluster that repeats more than others in this Design set?
California locations recur across multiple cities: San Francisco appears with Heliospace (2026-03-05 at $930K), while other California cities include San Jose (ZutaCore, 2026-06-02 at $100M), Los Angeles (FCTRY LAb, 2025-03-11 at $8M; MightyMeld, 2024-08-27 at $4M), and Santa Monica (Liquid Death, 2024-03-11 at $67M).
How dominant is “Series Unknown,” and does it track with undisclosed amounts?
“Series Unknown” shows up frequently in the rows—15 entries labeled “Series Unknown”—and “undisclosed” amounts also occur often (9 entries with undisclosed amounts). Examples include JP Donovan (2026-06-08, Series Unknown, undisclosed) and Anima App (2026-02-05, Series Unknown, undisclosed).
Which stage labels and disclosed sizes appear most frequently among the biggest rounds?
The largest disclosed rounds skew toward higher-ticket stages rather than early micro-rounds: ZutaCore is Series C at $100M (2026-06-02), Varda is Series C at $187M (2025-07-10), and Homebound is Series Unknown but at $300M (2025-12-15). Meanwhile, smaller disclosed rounds like ICE GEMS ($200K, Seed, 2026-05-28) and ArcScore ($360K, Seed, 2026-06-22) sit far below those peaks.
Are there small disclosed amounts that look unusually low compared with the rest of the list’s disclosed figures?
At the low end of disclosed amounts, Yama | Design shows $20K on 2024-07-23, which is far beneath other disclosed entries in the same period such as Silvaco at $5M (2024-04-16) and Liquid Death at $67M (2024-03-11).
