Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Dortmund set, and how does it compare to the other disclosed amounts?
iDEL Therapeutics’ $10M Seed on 2026-03-17 is the largest disclosed round. It is significantly larger than the next-largest disclosed amount of $5M (MotionMiners on 2023-02-13), with the remaining disclosed amounts at $3M (Bakerix, 2025-09-14), $2M (Smycles, 2026-03-04), and $1M (BACE, 2023-11-15).

Yes. Two Seed rounds close within two weeks in March 2026: Smycles at $2M on 2026-03-04 and iDEL Therapeutics at $10M on 2026-03-17. A second concentration is the mid-February 2023 window, with Sovity (Seed, undisclosed) on 2023-02-15 and MotionMiners (Series A, $5M) on 2023-02-13.
How much of the mix is Seed versus Series A in the rows shown?
Seed accounts for four of the six entries: iDEL Therapeutics ($10M, 2026-03-17), Smycles ($2M, 2026-03-04), BACE ($1M, 2023-11-15), and Sovity (Seed, undisclosed; 2023-02-15). Series A makes up the remaining two entries: Bakerix ($3M, 2025-09-14) and MotionMiners ($5M, 2023-02-13).
Is there an outlier in disclosed funding size (or disclosure status) that changes how to interpret the list?
