Across the 12 most recent energy-related rounds tied to Berkeley, the disclosed amounts cluster tightly below the top print: Terabase Energy’s $130M (Series C) on 2025-03-13 is the only disclosed round above $100M, and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts of $106M (Fervo Energy, 2025-06-11) and $50M (d.light, 2022-07-22). The time window also shows concentration at the recent end: three rounds with disclosed amounts fall in March 2025 (Coreshell Technologies $24M on 2025-03-18; Terabase Energy $130M on 2025-03-13; Capture6 $28M on 2025-03-11), while the earliest dated entry is d.light’s $50M on 2022-07-22. Stage labeling is mixed—half of the rows use “Series Unknown” (5/12) and “undisclosed” appears in 4/12 rows—so disclosed size comparisons are driven by the remaining subset.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round shown for Berkeley energy startups, and is it an outlier versus the rest?
Terabase Energy’s $130M Series C on 2025-03-13 is the largest disclosed amount and the only one above $100M. The next-largest disclosed rounds are $106M for Fervo Energy (2025-06-11) and $50M for d.light (2022-07-22), both far below the top print.
How concentrated are the rounds by date in this Berkeley energy list?
There is a dense cluster in March 2025: Capture6 closed $28M (2025-03-11), Terabase Energy closed $130M (2025-03-13), and Coreshell Technologies closed $24M (2025-03-18). Separately, there’s a smaller late-2024 cluster with multiple “undisclosed” entries such as HelicitySpace (2024-04-02) and Flair (2024-12-17).
Which stage labels dominate the disclosed picture, and how much of the list is “Series Unknown” or undisclosed?
“Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 12 rows (e.g., Brimstone on 2025-08-04; Fervo Energy on 2025-06-11; Flair on 2024-12-17), while “undisclosed” appears in 4 of 12 rows (Brimstone 2025-08-04; Twelve 2025-05-06; Flair 2024-12-17; HelicitySpace 2024-04-02). Disclosed rounds with a labeled stage include Terabase Energy (Series C, $130M on 2025-03-13) and Capture6 (Series A, $28M on 2025-03-11).
Are there repeated companies that create a pattern in the timeline rather than one-off funding?
Coreshell Technologies appears twice with different dates and amounts: $24M on 2025-03-18 (Series Unknown) and $12M on 2022-03-02 (Series A). This creates a multi-year throughline for the same Berkeley-based company, compared with most single-appearance entries like Terabase Energy (2025-03-13).
Do the disclosed amounts form a narrow band, or are there extremes below the top end?
Among disclosed amounts, the lowest disclosed value is $12M for Coreshell Technologies on 2022-03-02, while the top disclosed value is $130M on 2025-03-13. Several disclosed rounds sit in the $20M–$50M range (Coreshell Technologies $24M on 2025-03-18; Capture6 $28M on 2025-03-11; d.light $50M on 2022-07-22), whereas the $106M (Fervo Energy, 2025-06-11) and $130M (Terabase Energy, 2025-03-13) marks separate the upper tail.
