Disclosed round sizes in this government and military set show one clear outlier: Chaos (Series D) raised $510M on 2025-11-16, and every other disclosed amount is far lower—most are clustered under $250M (e.g., Epirus at $250M on 2025-03-05; Forterra at $238M on 2025-11-16). On the small end, ZeroMark’s $240K (Seed) on 2025-09-13 is the lowest disclosed figure shown.
Stage and disclosure also cluster. Nearly a third of entries are not financially specified: 14 of 50 rows are “undisclosed” (including Gecko Robotics’ same-month neighbor patterns like Performance Drone Works on 2025-07-25 and GovWorx on 2025-06-26), and another 17 are labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., Impala $1M on 2025-07-15; Metroplan $910K on 2024-11-21). Temporally, rounds run from 2024-09-26 (Prepared, $27M) to the most recent 2025-11-16 (Chaos and Forterra), with repeated concentration around June 2025 (e.g., Mach Industries $100M on 2025-06-17, Pano $44M on 2025-06-16, and Gecko Robotics $125M on 2025-06-12).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and how stark is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Chaos’ $510M Series D on 2025-11-16 is the largest disclosed amount shown. The next-largest disclosed rounds sit much lower, including Forterra at $238M on 2025-11-16 and Epirus at $250M on 2025-03-05, with most other disclosed figures well below $250M.
Which stage/disclosure labels dominate, and what fraction of entries lack a disclosed amount?
“Series Unknown” appears in 17 of 50 rows (e.g., Impala $1M on 2025-07-15; Metroplan $910K on 2024-11-21). “Undisclosed” appears in 14 of 50 rows (e.g., Performance Drone Works on 2025-07-25; GovWorx on 2025-06-26; SimpliGov on 2025-01-28), making financially unspecified rounds a substantial minority.
Is there a temporal cluster in the most recent months?
Yes—June 2025 shows multiple large and mid-sized closings across different cities and stages: Gecko Robotics ($125M) on 2025-06-12, Pano ($44M) on 2025-06-16, and Mach Industries ($100M) on 2025-06-17. The dataset’s latest date is 2025-11-16 (Chaos and Forterra), while its earliest shown date is 2024-09-26 (Prepared, $27M).
Do any cities or geographies repeatedly show up within this list?
California is frequently represented, including Los Angeles (Chaos $510M on 2025-11-16), San Francisco (SalesPatriot $5M on 2025-10-30; Pano $44M on 2025-06-16 is also listed as San Francisco; Chariot Defense $8M on 2025-07-16), and San Diego (Safe Dynamics $100M on 2025-02-18; Western States Fire $4M on 2025-02-18). The list is not confined to one metro, but it repeatedly revisits these California hubs.
Are there smaller “seed-to-pre-seed” outliers near the bottom, and how do they compare to the largest?
ZeroMark is the lowest disclosed amount at $240K (Seed) on 2025-09-13, and other small disclosed rounds include Lakeshore Legal Aid at $200K on 2025-04-17 and Positive Support For You at $190K on 2024-11-14. These bottom-end figures are dwarfed by the $510M Chaos round on 2025-11-16.
