Across the 18 most recent Evanston-area entries, the largest disclosed round is BloXroute Labs’ $70M (Series B) dated 2022-04-12, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts of $38M (Naurex, 2022-05-25) and $35M (MightyNest, 2020-11-03). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount shown is $200K for City Health Tech (dated 2021-05-13), while three entries are smaller “micro-round” disclosures of $400K (Wyoming Hyperscale, 2024-01-03) and $2M (Rhaeos, 2023-10-09).

The list also clusters by time: four disclosed rounds fall between 2024-04-09 and 2024-07-16 (Pinch $4M on 2024-04-09; Milu Health $5M on 2024-03-11; Aionics $5M on 2024-05-20; The Cradle on 2024-07-16 is undisclosed), and several more appear in 2022. Geography stays split between Evanston, Illinois and Evanston, Wyoming (with the only clearly different “Evanston, Wyoming” entries being Aionics and Wyoming Hyperscale), while sectors concentrate in Biotechnology (4 entries: Rhaeos, Aptinyx, Stemloop, Naurex) and in Health Care (3 entries: Milu Health, Synapse Health, City Health Tech).
