Disclosed funding in Golden is uneven: the largest disclosed round is BioIntelliSense’s $45M Series B on 2021-07-28, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed entries in this view—Black Diamond Advisory at $25M (2022-09-12) and Moov at $27M (2020-12-04). Several smaller rounds cluster in the low-to-mid single-digit range, including Steelhead Composites at $15M (2024-08-26) and multiple $2M–$7M rounds.

The list also shows a temporal edge and a format/label mix. Rounds span 2020-12-04 (Moov) through 2025-09-14 (HapWare), with the most recent two entries dated 2025-06-15 (Edison Motors at $2M) and 2025-09-14 (HapWare at $220K). Across 19 rows, “Series Unknown” appears 6 times and “undisclosed” appears 2 times (Lunar Outpost 2024-11-13; Sensera Systems 2023-08-15), while Energy, Biotechnology, and grant/venture-labeled rounds each show up repeatedly in the same city, though Golden is overwhelmingly listed as Golden, Colorado rather than other geographies.

Frequently asked

Which disclosed rounds stand out in Golden, and how big is the gap versus the rest?

BioIntelliSense’s $45M Series B (2021-07-28) is the only disclosed round above $25M in this set, sitting above Moov’s $27M (2020-12-04) and Black Diamond Advisory’s $25M (2022-09-12). The next tier is mostly well below that, such as Steelhead Composites at $15M (2024-08-26) and multiple $2M rounds (e.g., Edison Motors at $2M on 2025-06-15; Silver Bullet Water Treatment at $2M on 2022-12-07).

Do rounds cluster in a narrow recent window, or are they spread out across multiple years?

The 19 entries span 2020-12-04 to 2025-09-14, indicating a multi-year spread rather than a single spike. The newest concentration is clearly late-2025 (HapWare on 2025-09-14 at $220K and Edison Motors on 2025-06-15 at $2M), while the broader set continues through 2024 with several rounds such as Steelhead Composites ($15M) on 2024-08-26 and Vescent Photonics ($5M) on 2024-03-07.

Is the city mix consistent, or are there geography outliers within “Golden”?

Golden, Colorado dominates the listing across the 19 rows (e.g., Steelhead Composites 2024-08-26 at $15M; BioIntelliSense 2021-07-28 at $45M). The clearest geography deviation is Edison Motors listed as “Golden, British Columbia, Canada” on 2025-06-15 for $2M, while most other entries are explicitly Golden, Colorado, United States.

How does stage labeling behave here—what portion is “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed”?

Out of 19 rows, “Series Unknown” appears 6 times (e.g., Steelhead Composites is “Series Unknown” on 2024-08-26 at $15M; Golden Minerals is “Series Unknown” on 2023-11-06 at $4M). Separately, 2 rounds are labeled “undisclosed” even though they are dated—Lunar Outpost on 2024-11-13 and Sensera Systems on 2023-08-15.

Which sectors appear more than once, suggesting a thematic cluster rather than one-off financing?

Energy and Biotechnology both recur multiple times: Energy includes Steelhead Composites ($15M on 2024-08-26), Sensera Systems (2023-08-15, undisclosed), and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (grant, $4M on 2022-03-14). Biotechnology also repeats with Transverse Medical ($7M on 2023-08-18), PHARMAJET (grant, $2M on 2022-10-24), and BioIntelliSense ($45M Series B on 2021-07-28).

Are there low-end funding outliers that could indicate different deal sizes or funding mechanisms?

The smallest disclosed amount is HapWare’s $220K Pre-Seed on 2025-09-14, which is far below the common mid-range disclosed amounts like $500K (atōst on 2022-03-16) and $2M–$5M entries (e.g., Bio Daf at $2M on 2022-09-09; Vescent Photonics at $5M on 2024-03-07). That $220K round is an outlier even compared with other early-stage entries such as atōst’s $500K Seed (2022-03-16).
