Berlin education rounds in this listing skew heavily toward one outlier: VARM raised $20M on 2026-06-23, which sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts ($23M appears later at 2022-02-15 for Sharpist, but within the 2026 window the $20M dominates), while most other disclosed rounds cluster in the $3M–$12M range (e.g., Wonderwerk $3M on 2021-11-01; Smalt $9M on 2024-09-16; Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27). The time window is also tight near the top: of 13 rows, 6 closed in 2024–2026 (from 2022-12-14 through 2026-06-23 overall), with multiple entries in September 2024 (Smalt 2024-09-16 $9M; Lendorse 2024-09-04 $11M).
Geographically, every entry is Berlin-based except one with “Berlin, Berlin, Germany” shown for Zell (2026-04-13 $580K). Stage/amount reporting is uneven: 2 entries are “Series Unknown” (Lendorse 2024-09-04 $11M; CareerFoundry 2022-12-14 $5M) and 1 entry is undisclosed (codary, Seed, 2022-09-12). The smallest disclosed round is Zell’s $580K (2026-04-13), far below the otherwise mid-single-digit and multi-million majority (e.g., Junto $5M on 2022-08-10; cleverly.de $5M on 2023-09-13).

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed round in Berlin education on this page, and how much larger is it than the rest?
Sharpist’s $23M (Series A) on 2022-02-15 is the largest disclosed amount, with the next-largest disclosed rounds at $20M for VARM (2026-06-23) and $12M for Bling.de (2024-06-27), placing $23M above the rest’s $3M–$11M bulk.
Do rounds cluster in a specific date window, especially around 2024–2026?
Yes. Six of the 13 rows fall in 2024–2026, including two September 2024 closings (Smalt $9M on 2024-09-16 and Lendorse $11M on 2024-09-04) and another 2024-06/09 pair (Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27 and Smalt $9M on 2024-09-16).
Is there a notable outlier by disclosed amount that’s much smaller or larger than typical rounds?
Zell’s $580K on 2026-04-13 is the smallest disclosed amount on the page, materially below the common $3M–$11M range (e.g., Wonderwerk $3M on 2021-11-01; Junto $5M on 2022-08-10; Tomorrow’s Education $10M on 2023-06-20).
How often is the stage labeled as “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed,” and does that affect comparisons?
Three of 13 rows have incomplete stage/amount data: 2 are “Series Unknown” (Lendorse $11M on 2024-09-04; CareerFoundry $5M on 2022-12-14) and 1 is undisclosed (codary, Seed, $ undisclosed on 2022-09-12). Those entries limit any stage-based quantile comparisons that rely on disclosed amounts.
Which stage appears most often among disclosed Berlin education rounds here?
Seed is the most frequent labeled stage in the visible rows, appearing for cleverly.de ($5M on 2023-09-13), codary (undisclosed on 2022-09-12), Junto ($5M on 2022-08-10), Tomorrow’s Education ($4M on 2022-02-22), and Zell ($580K on 2026-04-13). Series A also recurs multiple times (Bling.de $12M on 2024-06-27; Tomorrow’s Education $10M on 2023-06-20; VARM $20M on 2026-06-23; Sharpist $23M on 2022-02-15).
