Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Gisborne-focused list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
LawVu’s $15M Series Unknown round on 2023-09-20 is the top disclosed amount here; it sits well above the next-largest disclosed entries, Carepatron’s $4M (2023-08-14) and GoGenerosity’s $900K (2021-10-14), while Dispute Buddy’s $770K (2025-11-22) and TDRI (undisclosed) are not in the same range.
Is there a temporal cluster in the most recent years, or are rounds spread out across the window?
Rounds are spread rather than tightly clustered: the dates range from 2021-10-14 (GoGenerosity) to 2025-11-22 (Dispute Buddy). The only multi-entry concentration is 2023, where LawVu (2023-09-20, $15M) and Carepatron (2023-08-14, $4M) both appear, with a 2025 entry (Dispute Buddy) and a single 2021 entry (GoGenerosity).
Which stage classifications dominate, and how many entries are not comparable due to missing amounts or stage?
Seed is the dominant stage, appearing in 3 of the 5 rows: Dispute Buddy (2025-11-22), Carepatron (2023-08-14), and GoGenerosity (2021-10-14). The remaining rows include 1 Series Unknown (LawVu, 2023-09-20, $15M) and 1 undisclosed amount (TDRI, 2025-04-01), which limits size comparisons for that entry.
Are any sectors over-represented compared with the rest of the list?
Information Technology is the only sector appearing in 2 of the 5 entries (Dispute Buddy and LawVu). Each other sector category appears once: Consumer Electronics (TDRI), Apps (Carepatron), and Community and Lifestyle (GoGenerosity).
Do any entries look like outliers in sector or geography relative to the rest?
Geographically, all 5 entries share the same location string format “Tauranga, Gisborne, New Zealand,” so no geographic outlier stands out within this slice. The outlier behavior is funding-size-related: LawVu’s $15M (2023-09-20) is materially above the $900K (GoGenerosity, 2021-10-14) and $4M (Carepatron, 2023-08-14) disclosed rounds, while Dispute Buddy’s $770K (2025-11-22) is closer to those lower disclosed amounts.
