The Gent-funded set here spans 2020-06-09 (Silverfin) through 2026-06-16 (Rainbow Crops), with the most recent $11M Seed for Rainbow Crops on 2026-06-16 standing out against a much thinner “mid-to-upper single-digit millions” cluster among the next-largest disclosed rounds. The biggest disclosed check is Silverfin’s $30M (2020-06-09), and it dwarfs the next-highest disclosed amounts shown: CHEQROOM’s $15M (2022-03-15) and Harmoney’s $12M (2026-05-21) / Animab’s $12M (2025-07-01).
The concentration pattern is more time-windowed than it is geography-driven: nearly all entries are explicitly listed as Gent, with repeats limited to “Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen” vs “Gent” in the same metro. Stage naming is also uneven: 4 of 22 rows use “Series Unknown” (Harmoney 2026-05-21, Protealis 2024-11-06, StoryChief 2022-07-18, Specter’s row uses Seed so it does not), and the most common visible stages skew early-stage (multiple Seed rounds), while later-stage activity appears intermittently (e.g., Animab’s Series B on 2025-07-01 and Azumuta’s Series A on 2025-11-13).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in this Gent list, and what does it imply for deal-size expectations?
Silverfin’s $30M (2020-06-09) is the only disclosed amount at that scale in the rows shown, materially above the next-largest disclosed rounds: CHEQROOM’s $15M (2022-03-15) and two $12M rounds (Harmoney on 2026-05-21 and Animab on 2025-07-01).
How clustered are the most recent financings by time, based on the listed round dates?
The newest 2026 entries cluster tightly in June: Rainbow Crops ($11M) on 2026-06-16, Duely ($1M) on 2026-06-09, and Harmoney ($12M) on 2026-05-21 are all within roughly a 3.5-week window from 2026-05-21 to 2026-06-16. Earlier, the timeline shows a second run of activity from 2025-02-20 through 2025-11-13 with multiple Seed rounds.
Are any city labels or geographies over-represented, or is it uniformly Gent?
Every row is tied to Gent, with only formatting differences: many are “Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen” (e.g., Rainbow Crops on 2026-06-16; Azumuta on 2025-11-13), while others shorten to “Gent, Belgium” (e.g., Sequesto on 2025-09-21; Silverfin on 2020-06-09). There are no alternate cities within the 22 rows shown.
What stage mix dominates, and how much ambiguity exists from “Series Unknown” entries?
Seed appears repeatedly across the list (e.g., Rainbow Crops $11M on 2026-06-16; Otamiser $2M on 2026-02-17; Specter $2M on 2024-09-10). “Series Unknown” occurs in 4 of the 22 rows (Harmoney $12M on 2026-05-21; Protealis $1M on 2024-11-06; StoryChief $4M on 2022-07-18; plus another “Series Unknown” row in the dataset), which affects how cleanly later-stage vs early-stage can be compared.
Do any sectors repeat often enough to form a cluster in this dataset?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) repeats across multiple rounds: Duely ($1M, 2026-06-09), Sequesto ($3M, 2025-09-21), Animab ($12M, 2025-07-01), and Bizzy ($5M, 2025-06-19). Several other sectors appear only once or twice (e.g., biotechnology shows Allegro Biotech $6M on 2023-04-25 and Animab as well as Animab is AI), making AI the most consistent theme across dates and amounts shown.
