Across these 50 funded hardware entries in the UK (sorted by round date descending), one disclosed amount stands far above the rest: Oxford Quantum Circuits’ $100M Series B on 2023-11-27. The next-largest disclosed figures cluster much lower (e.g., Wessex Internet at $68M on 2025-06-24 and Cambridge GaN Devices at $32M on 2025-02-18), so Oxford Quantum Circuits’ round is the only disclosed deal at the $100M level in the visible set.
The list also shows clear concentration by time and by city. Half-year coverage is heavily recent: the latest 10 entries run from 2025-10-14 (Phocas, undisclosed) back to 2025-05-14 (Space Forge, $30M), while the oldest row is Raspberry Pi with an undisclosed amount on 2023-11-03. Geographically, Cambridge, London, and Bristol repeat: Cambridge appears with Aircards? (no) and multiple distinct companies (e.g., Kigen 2025-06-10 undisclosed; Cambridge GaN Devices 2025-02-18 $32M; VividQ 2024-08-21 $7M; Forefront RF 2024-11-07 $21M; Kubos Semiconductors 2024-05-06 $2M), and London is repeatedly represented (e.g., Fyxer 2025-09-10 $30M; Goldilock 2025-06-02 $620K; EnSilica is Abingdon, not London). Stage labels skew toward incomplete disclosure: 8 entries are “Series Unknown” and 5 are “undisclosed,” including the largest-date row (Phocas, 2025-10-14, undisclosed) and Raspberry Pi (2023-11-03, undisclosed).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the clearest outlier in this UK hardware set, and how does it compare to the rest of the visible amounts?
Oxford Quantum Circuits’ $100M Series B on 2023-11-27 is the only disclosed deal at that $100M scale. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are below it (e.g., Wessex Internet $68M on 2025-06-24 and Cambridge GaN Devices $32M on 2025-02-18).
Is there a tight time cluster among the most recent rounds in these 50 rows?
Yes: the most recent 10 entries are all in a 5-month window from 2025-10-14 (Phocas, undisclosed) to 2025-05-14 (Space Forge, $30M). Beyond that, several more substantial disclosed rounds appear in mid-2025, including Wessex Internet $68M on 2025-06-24 and Fyxer $30M on 2025-09-10.
Are certain cities over-represented, based on repeated appearances across multiple companies?
Cambridge and London recur more than other single locations. Cambridge appears with multiple companies across 2024–2025 (e.g., Kigen 2025-06-10, Forefront RF 2024-11-07 $21M, VividQ 2024-08-21 $7M, Kubos Semiconductors 2024-05-06 $2M), while London appears with several distinct rounds including Fyxer $30M (2025-09-10), Goldilock $620K (2025-06-02), and Sedna $10M (2025-04-03).
How much of the deal activity is hard to stage-disambiguate (Series Unknown vs undisclosed amounts)?
In the visible set, 8 entries use “Series Unknown” and 5 entries have “undisclosed” amounts. The ambiguity shows up at the temporal edges too, including Phocas on 2025-10-14 (undisclosed) and Raspberry Pi on 2023-11-03 (undisclosed), complicating any stage-based comparison across the full 50-row list.
What stage and disclosure pattern dominates the higher-dollar end of the distribution?
The top disclosed amount is tied to a specific labeled stage (Oxford Quantum Circuits is “Series B” with $100M on 2023-11-27). But large rounds also appear with “Series Unknown” labels at meaningful sizes, such as Wessex Internet ($68M, 2025-06-24) and Wildanet ($35M, 2024-07-16), indicating that high-dollar activity is not confined to clearly categorized stages.
If you look for low absolute amounts, what stands out as the smallest disclosed figure?
Grace Solutions is the smallest disclosed amount in the visible rows at $10K on 2024-02-06. This sits far below other small but non-trivial disclosed deals like Noxi ($30K on 2025-04-04) and Goldilock ($620K on 2025-06-02), making Grace Solutions a low-end outlier among disclosed amounts.
