Nine funded startups are listed for Fort Wayne, Indiana across round dates from 2020-12-14 (Northeast Indiana Innovation Center (NIIC)) to 2026-05-19 (Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority). The disclosed amounts show a pronounced size skew: Sortera Alloys raised $45M on 2025-11-20, which is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds ($1M for the airport authority on 2026-05-19 and $8M for 3BG Supply Co. on 2022-05-12), while $50K (The Literacy Alliance on 2023-07-28) sits near the floor of disclosed funding.
The list also concentrates in a compressed recent window: four of the nine entries close between 2023-07-05 and 2024-04-23, and three more appear in 2025 (Sortera Alloys on 2025-11-20 and SESCO on 2025-10-07 are followed by Series/amount-unknown entries). Sector coverage is broad, but AI appears only once (Sortera Alloys), while “Series Unknown” dominates classifications: five of nine rows are labeled Series Unknown, and two are explicitly “undisclosed” on amount (SESC and Medical Informatics Engineering).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Fort Wayne list, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Sortera Alloys’ $45M round on 2025-11-20 is the only disclosed amount in the tens-of-millions range, well above 3BG Supply Co.’s $8M (2022-05-12) and the next highest disclosed value of $1M (Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority on 2026-05-19). Smaller disclosed rounds include $300K (BioPoly on 2023-01-24) and $100K (NIIC on 2020-12-14).
Is there a noticeable date cluster among the most recent rounds shown?
Yes. Four of the nine entries fall between 2023-07-05 (YWCA Northeast Indiana) and 2024-04-23 (Medical Informatics Engineering), forming a dense mid-window. In addition, two 2025-dated items appear (SESC on 2025-10-07 and Sortera Alloys on 2025-11-20), extending the concentration into the most recent year range shown.
How many entries are classification- or amount-unclear, and what share are “Series Unknown”?
Five of the nine rows are labeled “Series Unknown” in the round/financing type field (Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority on 2026-05-19; Medical Informatics Engineering on 2024-04-23; The Literacy Alliance on 2023-07-28; YWCA Northeast Indiana on 2023-07-05; and BioPoly’s row is not “Series Unknown,” since it is labeled Seed). Two entries are also explicitly “undisclosed” by amount: SESCO (2025-10-07) and Medical Informatics Engineering (2024-04-23).
Which entries look like amount outliers worth targeting first for outreach?
The largest disclosed outlier is Sortera Alloys with $45M on 2025-11-20. At the other extreme, the smallest disclosed amount is $30K for YWCA Northeast Indiana on 2023-07-05, with $50K (The Literacy Alliance on 2023-07-28) close behind—both far below the mid-to-high millions such as 3BG Supply Co.’s $8M (2022-05-12).
What does the stage mix imply for investor or sales prioritization in this slice?
Stage labels are sparse, but when they appear they’re concentrated in a few types: Seed for BioPoly on 2023-01-24 ($300K) and Debt Financing for 3BG Supply Co. on 2022-05-12 ($8M) stand out against “Series Unknown” entries. This makes the list less comparable by stage and suggests prioritization may rely more on disclosed size (e.g., $45M for Sortera Alloys) than on stage label consistency.
