Across the 32 hardware-focused entries in New York shown here, the disclosed round sizes cluster tightly at the low-to-mid tens of millions, except for a single outlier: DigitalOcean’s $50M round on 2020-05-14, which is the largest disclosed amount in the table. The smallest disclosed amount is $30K (AetherWorks, 2024-10-08), creating a wide spread between early disclosed rounds and the largest later disclosed rounds.
Timing also concentrates. The table’s most recent entry is Qunnect’s $10M Series A on 2025-06-24, while the oldest dated entry is DigitalOcean on 2020-05-14. By quarter-window, July–September 2024 includes multiple disclosed financings (e.g., Canid $10M on 2024-06-03; Gomboc.AI $8M on 2025-02-19 is later, while July 2024 has Nagish $11M on 2024-07-10; and Roots Automation $22M on 2024-09-16). Stage labeling is mixed: 5 of 32 rows are explicitly “Series Unknown,” and 1 of 32 is “undisclosed” (Orion Global Solutions, dated 2024-03-06).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this New York hardware set, and how does it compare to the next-largest disclosed amounts?
DigitalOcean’s $50M on 2020-05-14 is the largest disclosed amount in the table. The next-largest disclosed rounds are in the $40M and high-$30M range (OXIO $40M on 2022-03-16; Runwise $30M on 2025-06-09 and io.net $30M on 2024-03-05), while most other disclosed amounts sit well below $30M.
Which entries look like outliers on the low end, based on disclosed amounts?
AetherWorks has the smallest disclosed amount at $30K on 2024-10-08. Other low-end disclosed rounds include 360MAX at $120K (2024-02-03) and Clad at $500K (2023-04-05), but neither approaches AetherWorks’ disclosed minimum.
Do these rounds cluster into a specific time window near the top of the list?
The most recent quarters show repeated Series A and Series B activity rather than isolated single deals: June 2025 includes Qunnect $10M (2025-06-24), Runwise $30M (2025-06-09), and Canid $10M (2025-06-03). In the broader late-2024 period, multiple disclosed rounds appear across August to September (Andrena $18M on 2024-08-07; Roots Automation $22M on 2024-09-16; Nagish $11M on 2024-07-10).
Is New York the consistent geography here, or are there city-disambiguation patterns that stand out?
All 32 rows list the geography as “New York, United States,” including entries like Qunnect (2025-06-24), Runwise (2025-06-09), and DigitalOcean (2020-05-14). No other city variants appear in the provided rows, so there is no same-state/city disambiguation signal within this table.
How much of the dataset uses ambiguous round labeling (Series Unknown or undisclosed), and which companies are affected?
5 of the 32 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., AetherWorks $30K on 2024-10-08; io.net $30M on 2024-03-05; Clad uses a named stage but 360MAX is Series Unknown at $120K on 2024-02-03). Separately, 1 of 32 is “undisclosed” (Orion Global Solutions, dated 2024-03-06), so only those two labeling types affect how much can be inferred from amounts.
What stage mix dominates the disclosed rounds, based on the named round types present?
Named stages commonly include Series A and Series B, with multiple examples at the tens-of-millions level (e.g., Runwise Series B $30M on 2025-06-09; Roots Automation Series B $22M on 2024-09-16; Aescape Series A $30M on 2022-11-16; LiveCare Series A $9M on 2021-03-18). Earlier-stage entries also show up (e.g., Clad Pre-Seed $500K on 2023-04-05; Antimetal Seed $4M on 2023-05-08), indicating a two-track pattern rather than one single lifecycle stage dominating the years shown.
