Among the 50 most recent grant-backed rounds shown, the only disclosed amount in the tens of millions is Windracers’ $88M (2022-08-09), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds at $21M each for Norton Motorcycles (2022-06-17) and OX Delivers (2022-06-17) and an $18M Oxitec (2022-04-13). Disclosures also skew toward smaller checks: six different entries are exactly $100K (multiple 2022-03-30 grants such as Guy’s and St Thomas’ at $100K, iLoF at $100K, MultiplAI Health at $100K, Mursla at $100K, and Pear Bio at $100K), while 14 of 50 rows are “undisclosed” and $10K appears repeatedly.
Geographically, London dominates (for example, ZiO Health on 2022-10-24, LabGenius on 2022-10-07, and Gripable on 2022-08-24), but the list also includes cluster-adjacent regional nodes such as Edinburgh (e.g., Bioliberty on 2022-08-04 and Invizius on 2022-03-30) and Cambridge (e.g., Health Tech Enterprise on 2022-09-01 and Storm Therapeutics on 2022-05-03). Temporally, rounds span from 2022-03-30 (multiple grants) to the most recent entry on 2022-10-24 (ZiO Health).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed grant in this UK list, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Windracers’ disclosed $88M grant (2022-08-09) is the only entry above $50M. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $21M each for Norton Motorcycles (2022-06-17) and OX Delivers (2022-06-17), with Oxitec at $18M (2022-04-13), making Windracers a clear outlier by disclosed size.
Do the amounts cluster near a specific funding floor or show a repeated small-check pattern?
Yes: several disclosed grants sit at $100K on 2022-03-30 (Guy’s and St Thomas’ at $100K, iLoF at $100K, MultiplAI Health at $100K, Mursla at $100K, and Pear Bio at $100K). Separately, $10K appears more than once in different weeks, including Awaretag ($10K on 2022-10-03) and Food Safe System ($10K on 2022-08-01).
Which regions or cities are over-represented among these grants?
London appears repeatedly across the date range, including ZiO Health (2022-10-24, undisclosed), LabGenius (2022-10-07, undisclosed), Gripable ($940K on 2022-08-24), and CONNECT Care ($770K on 2022-05-01). Outside London, Edinburgh shows multiple entries such as Bioliberty ($120K on 2022-08-04) and Invizius ($1M on 2022-03-30).
Is there a temporal spike where multiple rounds closed at the same time?
A concentrated cluster exists on 2022-03-30: Guy’s and St Thomas’ ($100K), iLoF ($100K), MultiplAI Health ($100K), Mursla ($100K), Invizius ($1M), and Pear Bio ($100K) all share the same round date. More broadly, the list runs from 2022-03-30 through 2022-10-24 (ZiO Health).
How often are grant amounts undisclosed, and does that limit comparisons of top vs. typical rounds?
Undisclosed amounts show up in 14 of the 50 rows, including ZiO Health (2022-10-24, undisclosed) and multiple AI/biotech entries such as Blecon (2022-09-20, undisclosed) and Storm Therapeutics (2022-05-03, undisclosed). As a result, the largest-outlier conclusion relies on disclosed figures like Windracers’ $88M (2022-08-09), while many other companies cannot be directly ranked by amount.
