Among the 19 most recent funded startups tied to Foster City, the largest disclosed round is Vaxcyte’s $1.5B (2024-09-04). That $1.5B disclosure sits far above the rest of the disclosed amounts in the table, which cluster mostly between $16M and $250M, with only one other standout disclosure above $200M: Geron at $250M (2024-11-07). A second notable pattern is timing: 5 rounds with disclosed amounts fall within a tight biotech-heavy window between 2024-07-24 (Dren Bio, $25M) and 2024-11-07 (Geron, $250M). Sector-wise, Biotechnology appears in multiple entries (AusperBio 2025-09-28; Vaxcyte 2024-09-04; Dren Bio 2024-07-24; Adela 2023-09-25; Geron 2024-11-07; Cache 2024-05-07 and 2022-03-16), while several rows carry non-disclosed or ambiguous classification labels, including “undisclosed” amounts (Replit 2025-07-15; Cache 2024-05-07) and “Series Unknown” (Geron, Vaxcyte, Dren Bio, Reviver, Motiv Power Systems, Exabeam).

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size in Foster City, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed rounds?
Vaxcyte’s $1.5B (2024-09-04) is the only disclosed round in the $1B range and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts shown, including Geron’s $250M (2024-11-07) and AusperBio’s $63M (2025-09-28).
Do the most recent rounds cluster into a specific time window?
Yes. Several biotech rounds with disclosed amounts concentrate between 2024-07-24 (Dren Bio, $25M) and 2024-11-07 (Geron, $250M), with Vaxcyte at $1.5B (2024-09-04) and Adela at $48M (2023-09-25) reinforcing a multi-quarter biotech burst in the middle of the table.
How much of this list is based on missing or ambiguous deal information (undisclosed amounts or Series Unknown)?
At least two rows show “undisclosed” amounts: Replit (2025-07-15) and Cache (2024-05-07). Separately, “Series Unknown” appears on multiple entries including Geron (2024-11-07, $250M) and Vaxcyte (2024-09-04, $1.5B), plus Reviver (2023-05-04, $20M), Motiv Power Systems (2023-03-01, $5M), and Exabeam (2021-06-01, $200M).
Which sectors appear repeatedly, and does one sector dominate the larger disclosed rounds?
Biotechnology is the recurring sector across the table (e.g., AusperBio 2025-09-28 $63M; Vaxcyte 2024-09-04 $1.5B; Geron 2024-11-07 $250M; Dren Bio 2024-07-24 $25M; Adela 2023-09-25 $48M; Cache 2024-05-07 undisclosed and 2022-03-16 $100K). The largest disclosed amounts shown ($1.5B and $250M) are both in Biotechnology.
Are there smaller disclosed rounds that act as lows or “floor” points versus the rest?
The smallest disclosed amount shown is Cache’s $100K tied to a Non-equity Assistance round (2022-03-16). By comparison, most other disclosed amounts sit in the millions (e.g., Pizza Club Games $2M seed on 2021-02-09; Snapser $3M seed on 2023-02-08; GoodGist $1M seed on 2024-04-08), making the $100K entry an outlier.
