Across the 50 most recent funded entries shown for Fort Lauderdale, the largest disclosed round is Growve’s $225M debt financing on 2022-01-05, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Syncromune’s $100M (2024-12-20) and EnergyX’s $75M (2024-10-04). The smallest disclosed amount in the table is HOPE South Florida’s $100K grant on 2022-03-28, making the disclosed range extremely wide even before accounting for rows labeled “undisclosed.”
Date-wise, the list is anchored by recent closings in mid-to-late 2026 (e.g., Upside’s $20M Series A on 2026-06-25 and Z Squared’s $15M on 2026-06-29) while also spanning back to 2022-01-05 (Growve). Stage labeling is frequently unresolved: “Series Unknown” appears in 11 of the 50 rows, and “undisclosed” appears in 14 of the 50 rows, so multiple sectors show funding without a comparable round-type disclosure. Cluster-wise, several biotech entries show up repeatedly (e.g., Sunshine Biopharma on 2026-05-18, AiM Medical Robotics on 2025-09-29, Kaida BioPharma on 2026-01-21, and Syncromune on 2024-12-20), alongside recurring fintech/financial services names such as Upside (2026-06-25) and financial-services rounds labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., qolo on 2025-10-24).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the biggest and smallest disclosed rounds, and how extreme is the gap?
The largest disclosed amount is Growve’s $225M debt financing (2022-01-05), which is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts like Syncromune’s $100M (2024-12-20) and EnergyX’s $75M (2024-10-04). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is HOPE South Florida’s $100K grant (2022-03-28), with multiple other small disclosed rounds clustered around the $100K–$2M range (e.g., Zulu Pods $100K on 2026-06-09; Lamatic $510K on 2025-11-07).
Are the most recent closings concentrated in a narrow window, or spread out?
Yes: the most recent entries are tightly clustered in late June 2026, including Sidari Brands at $630K (2026-06-30), Z Squared at $15M (2026-06-29), Upside at $20M (2026-06-25), and SubBase at $7M (2026-06-17). The table also extends back to 2022-01-05 (Growve), so the overall timeline is multi-year even though the latest batch is compressed.
How often does the data omit round type or amount, and what does that imply for comparing companies?
Round-type disclosure is frequently missing: “Series Unknown” appears in 11 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” appears in 14 of 50 rows. That combination means comparisons are uneven—for example, several financial-services/AI/healthcare entries show “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts (qolo on 2025-10-24 and PayAll Payment Systems on 2025-06-04 are both “undisclosed”), so disclosed-size comparisons are only possible on the subset with dollar amounts.
Which sectors show up repeatedly enough to form a pattern, based on the entries in this list?
Biotechnology appears multiple times across different dates and stages, including Sunshine Biopharma ($6M, 2026-05-18), Kaida BioPharma ($2M, 2026-01-21), AiM Medical Robotics ($8M, 2025-09-29), and Syncromune ($100M, 2024-12-20). Health-adjacent categories also recur (e.g., Health Care, Biotechnology, Wellness/Community), but biotech is the clearest repeated label across several years.
Are there outliers within specific sectors, not just the overall largest round?
Within energy and life sciences especially, the disclosed sizes diverge sharply from nearby amounts. EnergyX’s $75M (2024-10-04) is an order of magnitude above Sunburn Cannabis’s $1M (2024-08-19) and above Bright Green’s $4M (2024-08-08), while Syncromune’s $100M (2024-12-20) sits far above other disclosed biotech amounts in this table such as Psycheceutical’s $100K (2024-07-02) and Kaida BioPharma’s $2M (2026-01-21).
