Across the 30 most recent Ghent-area entries, AgomAb Therapeutics raised $89M on 2024-10-25, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount ($43M for TechWolf on 2024-06-24 and Dualyx on 2023-05-15). The disclosed amounts also show a long tail: the smallest disclosed round is Dexr’s $110K on 2024-07-08, well below the many sub-$2M rounds.
Most records cluster tightly in 2024–2025 (from 2025-01-16 with Squire to 2025-10-03 with Highsail, plus many entries in 2024), while 2020–2022 is represented but less frequently (e.g., Mealhero on 2020-11-01; Deliverect on 2022-01-24). Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence appears repeatedly (Highsail, Squire, Timefold, uman.ai, LegalFly, Henchman, Nuclivision, OTIV, TechWolf), and stage disclosure is uneven: 2 rounds are explicitly “undisclosed” (Highsail 2025-10-03; Squire 2025-01-16; Nuclivision 2023-02-15; OTIV 2023-01-12) and one entry is “Series Unknown” (uman.ai 2024-08-19).

Frequently asked
What stands out in round size, and is there a clear outlier?
AgomAb Therapeutics’ $89M (2024-10-25) is the only disclosed round in a higher range than the rest, with the next-largest disclosed amounts at $43M (TechWolf on 2024-06-24; Dualyx on 2023-05-15). The smallest disclosed amount is Dexr’s $110K (2024-07-08), indicating wide dispersion in disclosed financing sizes.
Do the most recent closings cluster in time within Ghent’s startup rounds?
Yes: multiple entries land in 2024–2025, including Highsail (undisclosed) on 2025-10-03, Eagl ($970K) on 2025-09-20, OnTracx ($1M) on 2025-09-17, and Vendorvue ($2M) on 2024-10-16. Earlier years exist (e.g., Mealhero on 2020-11-01; Deliverect on 2022-01-24), but they appear less frequently than the 2024–2025 window.
Are certain sectors over-represented in these Ghent entries?
Artificial Intelligence is the most repeatedly appearing sector label, showing up in Highsail (2025-10-03), Squire (2025-01-16, undisclosed), Timefold ($7M on 2024-09-17), uman.ai ($2M on 2024-08-19), LegalFly ($2M on 2023-11-28), Henchman ($7M on 2023-03-02), Nuclivision (undisclosed on 2023-02-15), and OTIV (undisclosed on 2023-01-12).
How does the stage mix look, and does “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” affect comparisons?
Stage categories appear across multiple rounds (e.g., TechWolf is listed as Series B on 2024-06-24 and later as Series A on 2022-05-10, with different disclosed amounts), but disclosure is incomplete for some entries. In this slice, 4 entries are explicitly “undisclosed” (Highsail 2025-10-03; Squire 2025-01-16; Nuclivision 2023-02-15; OTIV 2023-01-12), and one entry is labeled “Series Unknown” (uman.ai on 2024-08-19).
Are there meaningful geographic or naming patterns within Ghent-related locations?
Most rows use “Ghent, Belgium,” but several list “Ghent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium” (e.g., AgomAb Therapeutics on 2024-10-25 and Deliverect on 2022-01-24), suggesting a consistent Ghent-area attribution rather than distinct neighboring metros. Some company names reappear with different round dates, including TechWolf (Series B on 2024-06-24; Series A on 2022-05-10) and Morrow Optics (multiple entries on 2020-11-01 with $4M and 0 disclosed staging detail).
Which entries fall into the most recent 90 days of this dataset?
From 2025-10-03 backward 90 days, the entries include Highsail (2025-10-03, undisclosed), Eagl ($970K on 2025-09-20), and OnTracx ($1M on 2025-09-17). The next closest prior row is Markmi ($1M on 2025-04-02), which is outside the 90-day window.
