Across the 50 most recent Durham-area funded startups shown (sorted by round date descending), one disclosed round stands out: Restor3d’s $104M on 2025-08-22 dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts nearby (Vulcan Elements at $65M on 2025-08-11; Pairwise Plants at $40M on 2024-09-17). The rest of the disclosed rounds cluster at much lower figures, with several entries in the sub-$1M range (for example The ReCollective at $10K on 2025-05-01 and Cydoc at $50K on 2025-01-22).
Date-wise, there is a clear concentration in 2025: 2025 entries run from 2025-11-23 (Scale Social AI at $1M; Revian at $13M) back through 2025-01-22 (Cydoc at $50K). Geographic clustering is primarily “Durham, North Carolina” (with occasional different states: Durham, New Hampshire for Regrow Ag; Durham, Connecticut for Energea and Trosa; and Durham, United Kingdom for Atom Bank). Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biotechnology each appear in 6 entries, and “Series Unknown” (20 entries) plus “undisclosed” amounts (11 entries) account for a large share of the stage/size signal—11 of the 50 rows have undisclosed amounts, including Ramona (2025-08-14) and Altis Biosystems (2024-01-09).

Frequently asked
Which recent disclosed round is the outlier, and how high is it versus the next-largest disclosed amount?
Restor3d’s disclosed $104M on 2025-08-22 is the largest amount in the table; the next-largest disclosed figures are $65M (Vulcan Elements on 2025-08-11) and $40M (Pairwise Plants on 2024-09-17), so the $104M round clearly sits well above the rest of the disclosed range.
Do most rounds concentrate in a particular time window within the 50 rows?
Yes. The list is heavily weighted toward 2025: rounds run from 2025-11-23 (Scale Social AI $1M; Revian $13M) back to 2025-01-22 (Cydoc $50K), with multiple entries also landing on the 2025-08-22 cluster (Incyclix Bio $11M and Restor3d $104M).
Is “Durham” consistently the same city/state, or do the rows show geographic spread?
Most entries are labeled “Durham, North Carolina” (e.g., Vulcan Elements on 2025-08-11; Higharc on 2024-02-15), but there are notable exceptions: Regrow Ag is listed as “Durham, New Hampshire” (undisclosed, 2025-03-26), Energea and Trosa are listed as “Durham, Connecticut” ($670K on 2024-08-28 and $1M on 2024-11-22), and Atom Bank is “Durham, United Kingdom” with a disclosed $122M on 2023-11-01.
What stage labeling dominates, and how often is the round size undisclosed?
“Series Unknown” appears in 20 of the 50 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 11 rows (for example Ramona on 2025-08-14 and Altis Biosystems on 2024-01-09). That combination means a substantial portion of entries lack either a clear stage label, a disclosed amount, or both.
Which sectors are over-represented in this Durham listing?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biotechnology each appear in 6 entries. Examples for AI include Restor3d ($104M on 2025-08-22), Neurophos ($7M on 2023-12-14), and Scale Social AI ($1M on 2025-11-23); examples for Biotechnology include Incyclix Bio ($11M on 2025-08-22) and Atsena Therapeutics ($150M on 2025-04-02).
Are any extremely small disclosed rounds present alongside the larger financings?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount shown is $10K for The ReCollective on 2025-05-01, and other low-disclosed examples include Cydoc at $50K on 2025-01-22 and Verinetics at $150K on 2024-03-15—contrasting with the upper range such as Atsena Therapeutics’ $150M (2025-04-02) and Restor3d’s $104M (2025-08-22).
