Across the 29 most recent hardware-focused rounds in “Cambridge,” one disclosed round stands far above the rest: CMR Surgical’s £590M-equivalent ($590M) on 2021-06-28 dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts, including Superpedestrian’s $125M (2022-02-01) and Iterative Scopes’ $150M (2022-01-19). At the smaller end, the lowest disclosed amount is $100K for Connect Fibre on 2022-02-14, with several other low figures clustered around $900K–$6M (e.g., Sorex Sensors at $900K on 2020-08-25 and Flusso at $6M on 2020-06-03).
The list is temporally concentrated in the last few years: the disclosed rounds span from 2020-06-03 (Flusso) to 2025-06-11 (VectorWave), and the most recent entries cluster between late 2024 and mid-2025 (e.g., VectorWave $3M on 2025-06-11; Lumafield $75M on 2025-03-13). Geographically, “Cambridge, Massachusetts” appears repeatedly (e.g., VectorWave, Muon Vision, Nu Quantum is UK-based but Cambridge-labeled; Metalenz $30M and Iterative Scopes $150M), alongside “Cambridge, Cambridgeshire” entries such as Cambridge GaN Devices ($32M, 2025-02-18) and Kigen (2025-06-10, amount undisclosed). Stages are mixed: “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” appears 6 times across the 29 rows (Kigen 2025-06-10, Vanu 2024-10-28, Raspberry Pi 2023-11-03, HealthRhythms 2022-11-14, Wyld Networks 2022-12-22, and at least one blank/undisclosed entry tied to undisclosed amounts), while named stages range from Seed (e.g., VectorWave $3M on 2025-06-11) to C (e.g., Lumafield $75M on 2025-03-13).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding amount in these Cambridge hardware rounds, and how separated is it from the rest?
CMR Surgical’s $590M on 2021-06-28 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are much lower, including Iterative Scopes at $150M (2022-01-19) and Superpedestrian at $125M (2022-02-01), before the rest largely falls between the tens of millions (e.g., Lumafield $75M on 2025-03-13; Cambridge GaN Devices $32M on 2025-02-18).
Do the rounds cluster by time in this list of 29 most recent entries?
Yes. The date range shown runs from 2020-06-03 (Flusso $6M) to 2025-06-11 (VectorWave $3M), with a dense concentration in the most recent window: late 2024 to mid-2025 includes Vanu (2024-10-28, $5M), Forefront RF (2024-11-07, $21M), VividQ (2024-08-21, $7M), and VectorWave (2025-06-11, $3M).
Are “Cambridge, Massachusetts” and “Cambridge, Cambridgeshire” over-represented within the dataset?
Both appear repeatedly, rather than one dominating. “Cambridge, Massachusetts” includes VectorWave (2025-06-11), Muon Vision (2025-01-08), Lumafield (2025-03-13), Metalenz (2022-10-05, $30M), Iterative Scopes (2022-01-19, $150M), and CMR Surgical’s UK listing; “Cambridge, Cambridgeshire” includes Cambridge GaN Devices ($32M on 2025-02-18) and multiple entries like Kigen (2025-06-10, undisclosed) and Nu Quantum (2023-11-02, $9M).
Which stage labels dominate, and how much of the list is stage-uncertain?
Stage-uncertain entries are material: “Series Unknown” appears for companies such as Kigen (2025-06-10, undisclosed), Vanu (2024-10-28, $5M but stage unknown), Raspberry Pi (2023-11-03, undisclosed), and Wyld Networks (2022-12-22, $2M with stage unknown), with additional undisclosed/blank stage records like Grace Solutions (2024-02-06, $10K). Named stages span Seed (e.g., VectorWave $3M on 2025-06-11; Kubos Semiconductors $2M on 2024-05-06) through C (Lumafield $75M on 2025-03-13; Superpedestrian $125M on 2022-02-01).
Are there unusually small disclosed rounds that stand out versus the typical disclosed amounts?
Connect Fibre’s $100K on 2022-02-14 is the lowest disclosed amount in the rows shown, notably below other small figures like Sorex Sensors at $900K (2020-08-25) and Flusso at $6M (2020-06-03). Several other disclosed amounts cluster in the low single-digit millions (e.g., VectorWave $3M on 2025-06-11 and Muon Vision $3M on 2025-01-08), but $100K is markedly lower than that cluster.
