Among the 50 most recent disclosed rounds in this Design-focused list, the largest disclosed amount is $294M (ACME Solar, 2026-06-05). That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts visible here, including $100M (ZutaCore, 2026-06-02), $41M (Eco Wave Power has $4M but Enex has $41M on 2026-06-22), $35M (Candela, 2026-03-18), and $22M (Foundation Alloy on 2026-06-16, Minish Technology on 2026-04-23). The disclosed amounts also show a low-end anchor: the smallest disclosed round is $150K (Global Machine Company, 2026-04-01), far below the cluster of several rounds in the hundreds of thousands to single-digit millions.
Geographically, multiple entries concentrate in Tokyo, with three different Tokyo-located companies appearing close in time (Imiron on 2026-06-01 for Tokyo, Solaris on 2026-05-20 for Tokyo, and BALLAS on 2026-04-15 for Ginza, Tokyo). Stage reporting is mixed: 20 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown” and 2 are “undisclosed,” with early-stage rounds (Seed/Pre-Seed) recurring across late March through late June 2026; the dates span 2026-03-05 (Heliospace) to 2026-06-29 (AZAPA).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed Design round in the recency window, and how does it stack up against the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The only disclosed round far above the rest is ACME Solar’s $294M on 2026-06-05. The next-largest disclosed figures in the table are much smaller, such as ZutaCore’s $100M (2026-06-02) and Enex’s $41M (2026-06-22), while most other disclosed rounds sit below the teens of millions (e.g., RevEng $15M on 2026-05-27).
Are there notable date clusters in the most recent Design rounds shown?
Yes. A dense run appears in late June 2026: AllHome ($21M, 2026-06-26), Eco Wave Power ($4M, 2026-06-25), Myota ($5M, 2026-06-23), ArcScore ($360K, 2026-06-22), and Enex ($41M, 2026-06-22) all land within about five days (2026-06-22 to 2026-06-26).
Which entries are most “early stage” by this list’s stage labels, and are those early-stage rounds concentrated in time?
Pre-Seed/Seed labels show up repeatedly across the window, including mafer AI (Pre-Seed $2M on 2026-05-29), Synaps (Pre-Seed $4M on 2026-04-30), and multiple Seeds like Imiron ($880K, 2026-06-01), ICE GEMS ($200K, 2026-05-28), and Oilstainlab ($500K, 2026-04-10). These are spread from late April through late June rather than concentrated in a single week.
Do any geographies stand out, particularly where multiple companies share the same city?
Tokyo appears more than once: Imiron is listed in Tokyo (2026-06-01), Solaris is also in Tokyo (2026-05-20), and BALLAS is in Ginza, Tokyo (2026-04-15). Other repeated countries appear (e.g., Canada has several entries such as Usinage FB on 2026-05-20 and Win-Shield Devices on 2026-04-24), but Tokyo shows the clearest same-city clustering here.
Which kinds of reporting gaps or uncertainties appear most often in this Design set?
“Series Unknown” is the dominant classification: 20 of 50 rows carry it (e.g., AZAPA on 2026-06-29; Enex is also “Series Unknown” on 2026-06-22). Additionally, 2 rows list amounts as “undisclosed” (AZAPA on 2026-06-29 and ESAPRO on 2026-06-11), which prevents using them for largest/smallest comparisons by disclosed dollar value.
