Among the 13 most recent funding rounds listed, the largest disclosed amount is Veralox Therapeutics’ $24M (Series Unknown) on 2023-06-20. That $24M round dwarfs most other disclosed amounts in this set: Datakwip’s $750K (2022-11-02) is the smallest disclosed amount, while the remaining disclosed figures generally sit below the single-digit millions (for example, Cerus Fitness at $7M on 2022-11-02 and KnowledgeNet.ai at $9M on 2022-02-10). The geographic picture is split by same-city naming: 12 of 13 entries list Frederick, Maryland, while Cerus Fitness is the lone Frederick, Colorado record (Seed, undisclosed amount).
Dates cluster tightly in early 2025: five rounds have 2025 dates (from 2025-01-21 through 2025-05-20), including two entries on 2025-01-21 (MSTRO at $2M and Nanobiofab at $200K). Sector coverage is concentrated as well: Biotechnology appears in three entries (RoosterBio on 2024-03-08 at $7M, Veralox Therapeutics on 2023-06-20 at $24M, and Hood College on 2023-07-14 at $40K), and “Series Unknown” appears in five rows while “undisclosed” amounts appear in three rows. The listing spans 2022-02-10 (KnowledgeNet.ai) through 2025-08-26 (Theradaptive).

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed round in this Frederick list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Veralox Therapeutics’ $24M on 2023-06-20 (Series Unknown) is the top disclosed amount, and it stands well above the next-largest disclosed figures in the table such as RoosterBio’s $7M (2024-03-08) and KnowledgeNet.ai’s $9M (2022-02-10). At the low end, Datakwip’s $750K (2022-11-02) is the smallest disclosed amount.
Are there date clusters, particularly in the most recent period, that suggest concentrated fundraising activity?
Yes. Five of the 13 rows have 2025 round dates, spanning 2025-01-21 (MSTRO at $2M; Nanobiofab at $200K) through 2025-05-20 (Forager Station at $30K). The most recent entry is Theradaptive on 2025-08-26, but the bulk of 2025 activity in this slice is concentrated in the first half of the year.
Does the list over-represent any sector, and what does that imply about where funding is concentrating?
Biotechnology is the clearest sector cluster with three entries: RoosterBio ($7M, 2024-03-08), Veralox Therapeutics ($24M, 2023-06-20), and Hood College ($40K, 2023-07-14). Other sectors appear once or twice, such as Energy (Forager Station $30K in 2025-05-20; FESCO Energy $12M in 2023-06-08; Datakwip $750K in 2022-11-02).
How dominant is “Series Unknown,” and are there any notable stage/outside-the-pattern discrepancies?
“Series Unknown” appears in five rows, including FESCO Energy ($12M on 2023-06-08), Veralox Therapeutics ($24M on 2023-06-20), and Nanobiofab (2025-01-21 at $200K is Pre-Seed instead, showing stage clarity for some but not all). The largest disclosed round ($24M) also carries “Series Unknown,” making the upper end of the funding range align with ambiguous staging in this dataset.
Are there outliers worth flagging by geography or missing/undisclosed amounts?
Geography shows one outlier: Cerus Fitness is the only entry in Frederick, Colorado (Seed, undisclosed), while the other 12 entries are Frederick, Maryland. On amounts, three rows show “undisclosed” (Theradaptive on 2025-08-26; Voyagr on 2025-04-04; Cerus Fitness), so some of the most recent activity lacks disclosed dollar values despite the otherwise wide range between $200K and $24M.
Which entries fall near the temporal edges of this table, and what does that say about recency vs. older rounds?
The temporal edges are 2022-02-10 (KnowledgeNet.ai at $9M, Series A) on the oldest side and 2025-08-26 (Theradaptive, undisclosed) on the most recent side. Between those edges, the most recent quarter contains multiple disclosed rounds—such as MSTRO ($2M on 2025-01-21) and Forager Station ($30K on 2025-05-20)—but the very latest record still has an undisclosed amount.
