Across these 12 pre-seed government and military rounds, the largest disclosed amount is $3M, held by multiple companies (Pilgrim on 2025-03-17; Origin Robotics on 2024-10-25; Where You At on 2024-10-15; XRF.ai on 2024-09-26). That ceiling stands out against a thinner tail of smaller disclosed checks—$500K (SalesPatriot on 2025-03-12) and $780K (Cautio on 2024-07-01), with one explicit $0K result (Safely on 2024-06-27).
The geography and timing cluster sharply despite the global footprint: five of the 12 entries list a 2024 pre-seed closing date (2024-01-22 through 2024-11-20), and three of the largest $3M rounds are concentrated in mid-to-late 2024 (2024-09-26, 2024-10-15, 2024-10-25). Within the same timeframe, the dataset also shows disclosure gaps: Parthenon Labs (2024-11-20) and Inquisio (2024-01-22) and OurGov (2023-03-07) are marked undisclosed, so comparisons must be made against only the disclosed amounts. The rows span from 2022-01-22 (Impala) through 2025-03-17 (Pilgrim).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed pre-seed check here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The top disclosed amount is $3M, appearing on Pilgrim (2025-03-17) and also on Origin Robotics (2024-10-25), Where You At (2024-10-15), and XRF.ai (2024-09-26). The next visible disclosed figures are much lower, such as $1M (Impala on 2022-01-22), $780K (Cautio on 2024-07-01), $640K (GovRadar on 2022-05-10), and $500K (SalesPatriot on 2025-03-12).
Are there tight timing clusters among these pre-seed rounds, especially at the top end?
Yes. Multiple $3M rounds land within a short late-2024 window: XRF.ai (2024-09-26), Where You At (2024-10-15), and Origin Robotics (2024-10-25). Separately, there’s a near-term cluster in March 2025 with Pilgrim on 2025-03-17 ($3M) and SalesPatriot on 2025-03-12 ($500K).
Which entries look like disclosure outliers that limit amount-based comparisons?
Undisclosed amounts occur for Parthenon Labs (2024-11-20), Inquisio (2024-01-22), and OurGov (2023-03-07), so they can’t be compared by disclosed dollar size. There’s also a lowest disclosed value explicitly shown as $0K for Safely on 2024-06-27, which sits far below the rest of the disclosed range (for example, $500K to $3M).
Do any geographies appear repeatedly, or is the list broadly distributed?
The list is geographically distributed with no repeated city across multiple entries, but it is regionally spread: the U.S. accounts for several of the most recent items including Pilgrim (Redwood City, CA on 2025-03-17) and SalesPatriot (San Francisco, CA on 2025-03-12), while non-U.S. Europe and other regions show up via Where You At (London on 2024-10-15), XRF.ai (Telde, Canarias on 2024-09-26), Safely (Dublin on 2024-06-27), and GovRadar (Munich on 2022-05-10).
What fraction of the rows are pre-seed rounds with undisclosed amounts versus disclosed dollar figures?
3 of the 12 rows are marked undisclosed (Parthenon Labs on 2024-11-20, Inquisio on 2024-01-22, and OurGov on 2023-03-07). The remaining 9 rows provide disclosed amounts, ranging from $0K (Safely on 2024-06-27) up to the $3M ceiling (e.g., Pilgrim on 2025-03-17).
