Among the 30 most recent Hawaii-funded entries shown, Onebrief’s $24M Series C (2025-06-16) is the largest disclosed round, and it is far above the rest of the disclosed amounts, which cluster in the $450K–$5M range in this slice (with only Holu Hou Energy at $35M undisclosed stage, still outside the single largest value comparison). Rounds also concentrate in a compressed recency window: 2023–2025 accounts for most rows, with multiple entries landing in spring 2023 (e.g., AccesSurf $50K on 2023-06-05 and reef.ai $5M on 2023-03-10) and another dense stretch in 2024 (e.g., Kuehnle Agrosystems $3M on 2024-03-13 and Holu Hou Energy $35M on 2024-03-12).
Stage and disclosure mix is uneven. “Series Unknown” appears 20 times, while “undisclosed” amounts appear 4 times (e.g., Privateer on 2025-04-09 and PlantBaby on 2025-02-04), and several disclosed deals use blank/unspecified series labels (e.g., Kuehnle Agrosystems $3M on 2024-03-13; Holu Hou Energy $35M on 2024-03-12). Sector-wise, Agriculture and Farming shows up repeatedly across the period (Terraformation on 2023-10-23 at $150K; Smart Yields on 2023-05-25 at $100K; Symbrosia on 2022-06-23 at $7M), while the time span of the list runs from 2021-08-16 (TurnoverBnB) through 2025-08-14 (INPEACE).

Frequently asked
Which recent disclosed round is largest in this Hawaii slice, and how separated is it from the next-largest disclosed deal?
The largest disclosed amount is Onebrief’s $24M Series C on 2025-06-16. The next-largest disclosed amount in the rows is Holu Hou Energy at $35M on 2024-03-12, which is still not close to the bulk of other disclosed figures that largely sit around the $450K–$5M band (e.g., reef.ai $5M on 2023-03-10; Bishop Museum $500K on 2023-05-18).
How much of the list is “Series Unknown,” and how should that affect stage-based analysis?
“Series Unknown” appears in 20 of the 30 rows, meaning stage-based clustering will be fragile if you rely on reported labels alone. This shows up alongside other classification gaps, including undisclosed amounts (4 rows such as Privateer on 2025-04-09) and blank series labels (e.g., Kuehnle Agrosystems $3M on 2024-03-13 and Holu Hou Energy $35M on 2024-03-12).
Are there notable date windows where deals cluster, especially near the middle of the list’s timeframe?
There is visible clustering in spring 2023 and early 2024: spring 2023 includes AccesSurf ($50K) on 2023-06-05 and Bishop Museum ($500K) on 2023-05-18, while 2024 includes a tight pair around 2024-03-12 to 2024-03-13 (Holu Hou Energy $35M on 2024-03-12; Kuehnle Agrosystems $3M on 2024-03-13).
Do any sectors appear frequently enough to form a working cluster for outreach or diligence?
Agriculture and Farming is the most consistent repeated sector in the rows: Terraformation ($150K) on 2023-10-23, Smart Yields ($100K) on 2023-05-25, and Symbrosia ($7M) on 2022-06-23. Other sectors appear multiple times but not as consistently across time as Agriculture and Farming does here.
What outliers stand out from the disclosed-amount pattern, and which companies drive them?
Two disclosed outliers pull the distribution upward: Holu Hou Energy at $35M (2024-03-12) and Onebrief at $24M (2025-06-16). By contrast, the smallest disclosed amount is INPEACE at $450K (2025-08-14), which sits well below mid-range deals like Onefund ($4M) on 2023-03-27 and Shifted Energy ($4M) on 2023-03-06.
Where do the temporal edges land in this list, and what does that imply for “recent” targeting?
The most recent date shown is 2025-08-14 (INPEACE, $450K), while the oldest date shown is 2021-08-16 (TurnoverBnB, $5M). For recent targeting, the listing supports prioritizing entries from 2024–2025, including Onebrief ($24M on 2025-06-16) and INPEACE ($450K on 2025-08-14).
