Disclosed funding amounts in Gullbringusysla show a wide spread: the largest disclosed round is Kvika at $227M (2025-05-23), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts that sit at $40M (Controlant, 2023-09-14; Oculis, 2023-06-01) and $55M (Sidekick Health, 2022-05-05). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is $500K, seen in both Flygildi ehf’s $2M? (no) — the actual $500K rounds are Loki Foods (Pre-Seed, 2022-08-09) and Flow (2020-07-10).
Rounds cluster tightly in Reykjavík across multiple years, and several dates concentrate near 2022 and 2024. Out of 43 rows, there are 5 entries with undisclosed or missing amounts (“undisclosed” at KuraTech on 2024-03-05, plus 3 other “” stage entries with amounts shown and 1 with “Undisclosed” classification at Spectaflow on 2022-01-05). By classification, “Series Unknown” appears repeatedly (e.g., Kvika 2025-05-23; Controlant 2023-09-14; Hefring Marine 2024-05-22), and the list spans 2020-07-10 (Flow) through 2025-05-23 (Kvika).

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size, and how does the top disclosed deal compare to the rest?
The largest disclosed amount is Kvika at $227M on 2025-05-23, far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $55M (Sidekick Health, 2022-05-05) and $40M (Controlant, 2023-09-14; Oculis, 2023-06-01). Several other sizable disclosed rounds cluster much lower, such as Treble at $12M (2024-09-03) and PLAY at $32M (2024-04-11).
Are there meaningful date clusters among the most recent rounds shown?
A large share of entries fall in 2022 and 2024: for example, multiple Seed/Series A rounds appear around mid-2022 (Lucinity $17M on 2022-07-07; Good Good $20M on 2022-05-16; Sidekick Health $55M on 2022-05-05). The newest window is concentrated in 2025 and late 2024, with Kvika’s $227M on 2025-05-23 followed by multiple $1M–$5M rounds in April 2025 (e.g., Optise $2M on 2025-04-09).
Which sectors show up often enough to matter in this list?
Software appears repeatedly (e.g., Glaze $1M on 2023-03-13; LearnCove 2023-01-24 for $910K; GRID $10M on 2020-08-26). Health Care is also recurrent (PLAIO appears twice: $5M on 2024-08-14 and $2M on 2021-12-15; plus EpiEndo Pharmaceuticals at $23M on 2021-08-18).
How concentrated is geography, and is there any city-level split within Gullbringusysla?
Geography is dominated by Reykjavík across the rows, including Kvika (Reykjavík, 2025-05-23 $227M), Controlant (Reykjavík, 2023-09-14 $40M), and Sidekick Health (Reykjavík, 2022-05-05 $55M). The main deviations are Kópavogur (Kaptio on 2024-12-06 for $3M) while most other entries explicitly list Reykjavík.
Are there stage/label outliers that would affect outreach or diligence prioritization?
Kvika’s $227M (Series Unknown, 2025-05-23) is the clearest size outlier, while several entries sit in very similar lower bands (often $1M–$3M), such as Evolytes $1M on 2025-04-04 and Optise $2M on 2025-04-09. Stage labels also show uncertainty patterns: multiple entries are tagged “Series Unknown” (e.g., Hefring Marine 2024-05-22 $2M; Travelshift 2023-08-29 $10M), which may require extra verification when mapping deal timing.
