Across the 7 most recent funded startups listed for Guelph, one disclosed round stands far above the rest: Goodleaf Farms’ $78M (2023-05-17). The next-largest disclosed amount is AXIBO’s $9M (2025-04-23), and other disclosed rounds cluster well below that, with Current Water Technologies at $160K (2025-05-26) and Quarter4 at $2M (2021-06-22). A sector concentration is visible as well: Agriculture and Farming (Goodleaf Farms), Biotechnology (eQcell), and Health Care (Current Water Technologies) each appear once, while Artificial Intelligence (Quarter4) appears once; the remaining sectors are Consumer Electronics (AXIBO), Truck Transportation (Hydra-Slide), and Administrative Services (Friendlier).

The date window also shows clustering: 3 of the 7 entries fall between 2023-05-17 and 2023-12-12 (Goodleaf Farms, Friendlier, and Hydra-Slide), while the list’s edges span from Quarter4’s 2021-06-22 to the most recent Current Water Technologies close on 2025-05-26. Stage labels are mixed, with “Series Unknown” appearing in 5 of 7 rows and “undisclosed” appearing in 1 row (Hydra-Slide, 2024-12-05), indicating limited comparability for round type.

Frequently asked

What are the largest disclosed rounds in this Guelph list, and how do they compare to the rest?

Goodleaf Farms’ $78M (2023-05-17) is the only disclosed round above $50M. AXIBO’s $9M (2025-04-23) is the next-largest disclosed amount, followed by Friendlier’s $4M (2023-12-12), while Current Water Technologies’ $160K (2025-05-26) and eQcell’s $850K (2022-08-02) sit much lower.

Do the most recent closings concentrate into a narrow time window?

Yes. Three of the seven entries land in the 2023 window from 2023-05-17 through 2023-12-12: Goodleaf Farms ($78M), Friendlier ($4M), and Hydra-Slide (undisclosed, 2024-12-05 is outside this range). Outside that cluster, the other dated entries span 2021-06-22 to 2025-05-26, with the two latest disclosed rounds occurring in 2025 (Current Water Technologies on 2025-05-26 and AXIBO on 2025-04-23).

Are there outliers in disclosed amount that stand out from the rest of the list?

Goodleaf Farms’ $78M (2023-05-17) is a clear high-side outlier relative to the next-largest disclosed figure of $9M (AXIBO, 2025-04-23). On the low side, Current Water Technologies’ $160K (2025-05-26) is the smallest disclosed amount shown, well below eQcell’s $850K (2022-08-02) and Quarter4’s $2M (2021-06-22).

How much of the round information is missing or labeled as unknown?

Round type is frequently not specified: “Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 7 rows (Current Water Technologies on 2025-05-26, AXIBO on 2025-04-23, Goodleaf Farms on 2023-05-17, eQcell on 2022-08-02, and Quarter4 on 2021-06-22). Separately, Hydra-Slide is marked “undisclosed” for amount on 2024-12-05, reducing comparability for both size and disclosed economics.

Which sectors are represented, and is there evidence of a single dominant sector?

No single sector dominates this 7-row snapshot: each named sector appears once, including Agriculture and Farming (Goodleaf Farms), Biotechnology (eQcell), Health Care (Current Water Technologies), Consumer Electronics (AXIBO), Administrative Services (Friendlier), Truck Transportation (Hydra-Slide), and Artificial Intelligence (Quarter4). The distribution is therefore broad rather than clustered by industry.

What does the stage/round mix look like across the available entries?

Only 2 of 7 rows provide a specific stage label beyond “Series Unknown”: Friendlier is labeled Seed with $4M (2023-12-12), and eQcell is labeled “Venture - Series Unknown” with $850K (2022-08-02). The remaining entries are “Series Unknown” or blank stage labeling (Quarter4 shows a blank stage field while still dated 2021-06-22 with $2M).
