The disclosed deal sizes in this Gauteng cut are anchored by a single outlier: Traxtion raised $86M on 2026-06-03, which is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds in view (Planet42 at $85M on 2023-02-22 and PAIX at $30M on 2024-07-03). Most other disclosed amounts sit much closer to the low-to-mid single-digit range (for example, Quro Medical at $1M on 2023-05-09; Energenic Holdings at $5M on 2024-11-12; TUHF at $11M on 2023-07-03), with Credipple’s $10K on 2024-08-05 standing out on the low end.
The 17 entries shown span 2020-08-20 to 2026-06-03, and the stage/amount reporting is heavily incomplete: 12 of 17 rows list “Series Unknown,” and 4 of 17 list “undisclosed” amounts (Fuchs Electronics on 2026-05-06; Ivorypay on 2025-03-04; Digi Pharm on 2023-08-23; Maia Capital on 2023-05-11). Sector coverage clusters around Financial Services (Traxtion 2026-06-03; TUHF 2023-07-03; Maia Capital 2023-05-11; Planet42 2023-02-22; Sendmarc 2023-02-09) and keeps most other industries to single entries such as Health Care (Quro Medical, 2023-05-09), Energy (Energenic Holdings, 2024-11-12), and Manufacturing (Ivili Group, 2023-10-11; LightWare LiDAR, 2020-08-20).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Gauteng here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Traxtion’s $86M round on 2026-06-03 is the largest disclosed amount shown and it dwarfs the rest: the next-largest disclosed amounts are Planet42’s $85M (2023-02-22) and PAIX’s $30M (2024-07-03), while many other disclosed rounds fall between $1M and $11M (e.g., Quro Medical $1M on 2023-05-09; TUHF $11M on 2023-07-03).
Are there clear temporal clusters within the most recent years, or are rounds spread evenly across the window shown?
The rows span 2020-08-20 (LightWare LiDAR, $25M) through 2026-06-03 (Traxtion, $86M), but there are noticeable mid-window densities around 2023: multiple entries land in February–May 2023, including Planet42 ($85M) on 2023-02-22, Sendmarc ($7M) on 2023-02-09, Quro Medical ($1M) on 2023-05-09, and TUHF ($11M) on 2023-07-03 shortly after.
How much of the list is missing stage or amount disclosure, and does that affect outlier detection?
Stage labeling is incomplete: 12 of 17 rows are “Series Unknown” (e.g., Traxtion 2026-06-03; PAIX 2024-07-03), and 4 of 17 amounts are “undisclosed” (Fuchs Electronics 2026-05-06; Ivorypay 2025-03-04; Digi Pharm 2023-08-23; Maia Capital 2023-05-11). That means the comparison of “largest” and “smallest” should be read only across disclosed amounts (Credipple $10K on 2024-08-05 is the smallest disclosed amount shown).
Which sectors are over-represented relative to the rest of the list?
Financial Services is the dominant repeat category, appearing in at least five entries: Traxtion (2026-06-03, $86M), TUHF (2023-07-03, $11M), Maia Capital (2023-05-11, undisclosed), Planet42 (2023-02-22, $85M), and Sendmarc (2023-02-09, $7M). Other sectors appear as single entries in this excerpt, such as Health Care (Quro Medical) and Energy (Energenic Holdings).
Which entries are worth a closer look as extremes on disclosed size?
On the low end, Credipple’s $10K (2024-08-05) is the smallest disclosed amount shown, far below typical disclosed rounds like Quro Medical’s $1M (2023-05-09) and HomeFarm’s $100K (2022-08-14). On the high end, the top of the disclosed spectrum is concentrated in two very large rounds (Traxtion $86M on 2026-06-03; Planet42 $85M on 2023-02-22) compared with mid-tier disclosed amounts such as PAIX $30M (2024-07-03) and LightWare LiDAR $25M (2020-08-20).
