Across the 19 most recent Gent-area entries (round dates spanning 2020-06-09 to 2025-11-13), one disclosed amount stands out: Silverfin’s $30M (2020-06-09) dwarfs the rest of the disclosed figures, with the next-highest disclosed rounds at $15M (CHEQROOM, 2022-03-15) and $12M (Animab, 2025-07-01). The list is also time-clustered near the top: 9 of the 19 rounds (from 2025-02-20 through 2025-11-13) fall within 2025’s second half, including multiple $2M–$3M Seed/Pre-Seed rounds (e.g., Jurimesh $2M on 2025-02-27; Sequesto $3M on 2025-09-21; introw $3M on 2025-11-11). Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears repeatedly in this slice (Sequesto, Bizzy, Jurimesh, each with disclosed $2M–$5M rounds), while several companies use “Series Unknown” (4 entries) and one older row leaves the round amount blank ($200K for BrighterBins, with stage shown empty on 2020-11-27).

Frequently asked
Which round size looks like the clearest outlier in Gent-area funding, and what’s the gap to the next-largest disclosed round?
Silverfin’s $30M round dated 2020-06-09 is the largest disclosed amount in the 19-row slice, and it materially exceeds the next-largest disclosed figures of $15M (CHEQROOM, 2022-03-15) and $12M (Animab, 2025-07-01).
Do the most recent rounds cluster tightly in time, or are they spread evenly across the date range?
They cluster toward recent dates: from 2025-02-20 (Karomia, $2M) through 2025-11-13 (Azumuta, $9M), 9 of the 19 entries appear, including several Seed/Pre-Seed rounds in the $2M–$3M band such as Jurimesh ($2M on 2025-02-27) and Sequesto ($3M on 2025-09-21).
Are any sectors over-represented compared with single-appearance categories?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows up across multiple companies—Sequesto ($3M, 2025-09-21), Bizzy ($5M, 2025-06-19), and Jurimesh ($2M, 2025-02-27)—while many other sectors appear only once in the displayed set (e.g., Biotechnology includes Animab, Allegro Biotech, and BrighterBins, but several categories otherwise remain singletons).
What does the stage mix suggest in this slice, especially around “Series Unknown” usage?
Seed is frequent (e.g., introw $3M on 2025-11-11; Alkmist $2M on 2025-09-09; Bizzy $5M on 2025-06-19; multiple $2M Seed entries), while “Series Unknown” appears in 4 entries (Protealis on 2024-11-06, StriveCloud on 2024-10-08, Otamiser on 2024-06-25, and StoryChief on 2022-07-18).
Are there within-category size pockets, or one region/city label that repeats more than others?
Most locations repeat with Gent and Oost-Vlaanderen in the city string (e.g., Azumuta, introw, Sequesto, and many others list “Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen”), and within that, AI rounds cluster in the lower-to-mid single-digit range ($2M–$5M across Jurimesh, Sequesto, and Bizzy). Separately, healthcare-adjacent biotechnology appears twice with larger disclosed figures (Animab $12M on 2025-07-01; Allegro Biotech $6M on 2023-04-25) plus one smaller hardware/other dated entries nearby (e.g., BrighterBins $200K on 2020-11-27).
