Across the 50 most recent government and military rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Chaos (Los Angeles, California) at $510M on 2025-11-16, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table (Forterra at $238M on 2025-11-16 and Epirus at $250M on 2025-03-05). Amount disclosure is also highly uneven: the smallest disclosed amount is $50K for The Center for the Rights of Abused Children on 2024-09-18, while 12 entries list amounts as undisclosed.
The list clusters temporally around mid/late 2025—several rounds land in June to November 2025 (e.g., Chaos and Forterra on 2025-11-16; Gecko Robotics $125M on 2025-06-12; Pano $44M on 2025-06-16)—and geographically shows repeated heavyweights in California, especially San Francisco (SalesPatriot, Pano, Authorium) and Los Angeles (Chaos, Automotus, Proteus Space). Stage mix is broad but includes meaningful “Series Unknown” visibility: 20 of 50 entries use “Series Unknown,” spanning everything from small checks (e.g., $200K Lakeshore Legal Aid on 2025-04-17) to very large disclosed rounds (e.g., $100M Carbyne on 2025-06-08). The displayed rounds run from 2024-06-21 (Public Policy) through 2025-11-16 (Chaos and Forterra).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the clear size outlier, and what does the next tier look like?
Chaos closed $510M on 2025-11-16, the only disclosed round above $200M in the table. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $250M for Epirus (2025-03-05) and $238M for Forterra (2025-11-16), both far below Chaos.
How often are amounts disclosed, and where do the smallest and largest disclosed deals land?
12 of 50 entries are marked “undisclosed,” so comparisons are driven by the remaining disclosed amounts. The smallest disclosed amount is $50K for The Center for the Rights of Abused Children on 2024-09-18, while the largest disclosed amount is Chaos at $510M on 2025-11-16.
Do many rounds concentrate in a specific recent time window?
A large share of the list lands in the most recent 2025 stretch: the latest entries include Chaos and Forterra on 2025-11-16, plus multiple rounds in June 2025 such as Gecko Robotics ($125M on 2025-06-12) and Pano ($44M on 2025-06-16). By contrast, the earliest displayed date is 2024-06-21 (Public Policy), showing the table skews toward late 2024 through late 2025.
Are any cities repeated enough to suggest a local concentration?
California appears repeatedly, with multiple entries tied to Los Angeles (Chaos on 2025-11-16; Automotus on 2024-09-20; Proteus Space on 2024-10-22). San Francisco is also recurrent (SalesPatriot on 2025-10-30; Pano on 2025-06-16; Authorium on 2025-04-10), indicating a notable West Coast clustering.
How does the stage information break down, and are “Series Unknown” deals spread across sizes?
“Series Unknown” appears in 20 of 50 entries, and these aren’t limited to small checks—for example, Carbyne shows $100M on 2025-06-08 and American AI Logistics shows $6M on 2025-07-03 with “Series Unknown.” The visible stage classifications include Series D (e.g., Chaos $510M on 2025-11-16; Gecko Robotics $125M on 2025-06-12), but the table’s largest rounds are not confined to a single labeled stage.
Which companies are worth immediate review as extreme lows or ambiguous signals?
On the low end, the $50K round for The Center for the Rights of Abused Children (2024-09-18) sits alongside $100K–$400K entries such as Automotus ($300K on 2024-09-20) and Somali Family Service ($400K on 2024-09-18), while undisclosed rounds include GovWorx (2025-06-26) and Performance Drone Works (2025-07-25). These low and undisclosed entries contrast sharply with $238M–$510M disclosed rounds like Forterra (2025-11-16) and Chaos (2025-11-16).
