In the most recent 14 entries, the largest disclosed round is Dominion Dynamics’ $98M Series A on 2026-06-30, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount at $294M from Kraken Robotics (2026-03-03). That upper tail matters: three other disclosed rounds sit far below $10M (e.g., Makivik at $20K on 2023-11-01; Field Safe Solutions at $2M on 2021-12-02; The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade at $2M on 2026-05-13), while several are clustered in the mid-to-high single digits ($5M Montreal International on 2026-03-30; $4M Kativik Regional Government on 2023-08-03; $10M Patriot One Technologies on 2022-03-10).
Stage labeling is also uneven: 9 of 14 rows show “Series Unknown” (e.g., Kraken Robotics on 2026-03-03 is $294M, and three First Nation entries on 2023-05-24 range from $230K to $680K). Geographically, British Columbia appears repeatedly through multiple entities (e.g., Heiltsuk Tribal Council in Bella Bella $200K on 2023-09-12; Mission Ready Solutions in Vancouver $2M on 2022-11-14; three separate First Nation rounds on 2023-05-24), and temporally the shown rounds span from 2021-12-02 (Field Safe Solutions) to 2026-06-30 (Dominion Dynamics).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Canada government and military slice, and how does it compare to the rest of the list?
Kraken Robotics posted $294M on 2026-03-03, far above the next disclosed high at Dominion Dynamics’ $98M Series A (2026-06-30). Most other disclosed amounts are comparatively smaller, including $10M (Patriot One Technologies, 2022-03-10) and several sub-$5M rounds such as Montreal International’s $5M (2026-03-30) and Kativik Regional Government’s $4M (2023-08-03).
How much of the list is concentrated in “Series Unknown,” and which large rounds are still under that label?
9 of 14 entries use “Series Unknown,” including large-ticket rounds like Kraken Robotics at $294M (2026-03-03) and smaller ones like Makivik at $20K (2023-11-01). Only 2 entries use identifiable non-unknown labels beyond that (Dominion Dynamics’ $98M Series A on 2026-06-30 and Patriot One Technologies’ $10M Post-IPO Equity on 2022-03-10).
Are there any tight temporal clusters in the most recent window?
Yes. Three rounds fall within roughly a one-quarter span in 2026: Kraken Robotics ($294M, 2026-03-03), Montreal International ($5M, 2026-03-30), and Dominion Dynamics ($98M, 2026-06-30). Separately, 3 entries close on the same date in 2023-05-24: Katzie First Nation ($680K), Cheam First Nation ($670K), and Skawahlook First Nation ($230K).
Which geography shows up most often, and does it align with multiple same-date entries?
British Columbia appears repeatedly (e.g., Heiltsuk Tribal Council in Bella Bella at $200K on 2023-09-12; Mission Ready Solutions in Vancouver at $2M on 2022-11-14). It also aligns with the same-date cluster on 2023-05-24, where Katzie First Nation ($680K) and Skawahlook First Nation ($230K) both appear alongside Cheam First Nation ($670K) even though Cheam is listed in Alberta.
Are there outliers that stand out either by size or by stage label?
Makivik’s $20K on 2023-11-01 is the smallest disclosed amount in the list, making it a clear size outlier next to Kraken Robotics’ $294M (2026-03-03). On stage, the largest non-unknown label is Dominion Dynamics’ $98M Series A (2026-06-30), while two other non-unknown entries are post-IPO or debt-related—Patriot One Technologies ($10M Post-IPO Equity, 2022-03-10) and Field Safe Solutions ($2M Debt Financing, 2021-12-02).
