Among the 50 most recent funded financial services startups listed for Berlin, the largest disclosed round is Nelly’s $52M (2025-01-14), and it sits only slightly above the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Ziegert Group at $56M on 2024-09-16 is the other high point). Several rounds cluster in the 2024-to-mid 2025 window: four entries with disclosed amounts fall between 2025-06-03 and 2025-07-08 (Payrails $32M on 2025-06-12; Baobab $14M on 2025-06-04; Banxware $11M on 2025-06-03; Friendsurance $8M on 2025-07-08). Smaller disclosed checks also form a noticeable floor—multiple pre-seed/seed rounds land at $2M or $4M (e.g., Credibur $2M on 2025-07-23; Degura $2M on 2023-02-08; Flagright $4M on 2025-03-27). Stage reporting is mixed: “Series Unknown” appears frequently (10 rows), and “undisclosed” appears 6 times, so disclosed-size comparisons are uneven across the table. The time edges run from 2022-04-28 (Nelly, $4M) to 2025-07-23 (Credibur, $2M), with the most recent entry dated 2025-07-23.

Frequently asked
What stands out in disclosed round size, and which deal is the clear size outlier?
Worldcoin’s $115M (Series C, 2023-05-25) is the dominant disclosed outlier versus the rest of the list, where the next-high disclosed rounds include Upvest’s $105M (2024-12-12) and Nelly’s $52M (2025-01-14). The overall distribution shows many disclosed rounds in the single-digit millions to low tens (e.g., Flagright $4M on 2025-03-27; getquin $15M on 2022-06-01), with few in the $50M+ range.
Do deals cluster in a narrow time window among these Berlin financial services rounds?
Yes. In mid-2025 alone, four disclosed rounds fall between 2025-06-03 and 2025-07-08: Banxware $11M (2025-06-03), Baobab $14M (2025-06-04), Payrails $32M (2025-06-12), and Friendsurance $8M (2025-07-08). More broadly, the table spans 2022-04-28 through 2025-07-23, with the most recent entry on 2025-07-23 (Credibur, $2M).
How often is the stage unspecified, and does that affect how you compare round sizes?
Stage labels are missing or unclear for a substantial share: 10 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 6 of 50 are “undisclosed.” That means disclosed-size comparisons heavily rely on the remaining rows with specific amounts (for example, Nelly $52M on 2025-01-14 and Upvest $105M on 2024-12-12), while several entries cannot be placed on the same size scale (e.g., Scope Group undisclosed on 2024-09-13; Moss undisclosed on 2024-06-07).
Is there a consistent “small-check” floor in this dataset, or are there many extremely small rounds?
There is a clear low-end pattern around $2M to $4M among disclosed deals. Examples include Credibur $2M (2025-07-23), Degura $2M (2023-02-08), and both Flagright $4M (2025-03-27) and Embea $4M (2024-02-20). At the other end, the $115M Worldcoin round (2023-05-25) stretches far above the typical low-mid range (e.g., 2022’s Airbank $20M on 2022-06-14 and getquin $15M on 2022-06-01).
Which companies land near the top of disclosed funding, and how many sit in the $50M+ range?
Several disclosed rounds reach the top tier: Worldcoin $115M (2023-05-25), Upvest $105M (2024-12-12), Ziegert Group $56M (2024-09-16), and Nelly $52M (2025-01-14). This set suggests only a small portion of the table clears $50M disclosed (four named examples visible with explicit amounts), while many other entries remain in the teens or below (e.g., Circula $17M on 2025-05-07; bunch $16M on 2024-07-25).
