Among Heidelberg entries with disclosed amounts, the largest round is Affimed’s $90M Post-IPO Equity on 2022-04-13, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount (Getsafe’s $63M on 2021-10-06) and sits far above the $27M–$15M range of other biotech and AI rounds (e.g., Aleph Alpha $27M on 2021-07-27; Novaliq $15M on 2022-04-12). Several rounds also cluster in a tight window: four disclosed healthcare/biotech deals fall between 2022-04-11 and 2022-04-13 (FundaMental Pharma $3M on 2024-04-11 is later, while the 2022 April cluster includes Novaliq $15M, Affimed $90M, and Living Brain $2M on 2022-07-11 not in the same week but nearby), while an additional concentration appears from 2021-02-15 to 2021-10-06 across AI/apps and seed-stage entries. Stages skew earlier: 7 of 14 rows are Seed (including become.1 $4M on 2024-09-18; Enzo $3M on 2024-07-12; FundaMental Pharma $3M on 2024-04-11), and disclosed post-seed scale appears mainly in a few entries (Getsafe Series B $63M on 2021-10-06; Affimed Post-IPO Equity $90M on 2022-04-13). The most recent row is Lillian Care (Seed) on 2025-10-13, while the oldest disclosed round amount is Musaic’s $100K Pre-Seed on 2021-02-15. Across the 14 rows shown, 2 amounts are undisclosed (Lillian Care 2025-10-13; Unikraft 2023-03-23; plus Paicon 2022-11-22 is also undisclosed), and no “Series Unknown” classification appears.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Heidelberg list, and how separated is it from the rest?
Affimed’s $90M Post-IPO Equity on 2022-04-13 is the only disclosed round in the $90M level, and it’s substantially above the next-largest disclosed amount of $63M (Getsafe, Series B on 2021-10-06).

Are there date windows where multiple funding rounds concentrate in this list?
Yes: 2022 shows a biotech-heavy cluster around April 2022, with Novaliq’s $15M on 2022-04-12 and Affimed’s $90M on 2022-04-13 (both in Heidelberg). The list also spans two earlier anchors for disclosed amounts in 2021 (Quality Match $6M on 2021-03-01; Aleph Alpha $27M on 2021-07-27; Getsafe $63M on 2021-10-06).
Which stages dominate the Heidelberg rounds shown, and how much later-stage scale appears?
Seed is the most common stage with 7 of 14 rows (e.g., become.1 $4M on 2024-09-18; Enzo $3M on 2024-07-12; FundaMental Pharma $3M on 2024-04-11). Later-stage disclosed scale appears in fewer entries, notably Getsafe’s Series B $63M (2021-10-06) and Affimed’s Post-IPO Equity $90M (2022-04-13).
Are any sectors over-represented compared with the rest of the list?
Biotechnology/biotech-adjacent appears repeatedly: Affimed (Biotechnology) on 2022-04-13, Living Brain (Biotechnology) on 2022-07-11, and Novaliq (Biotechnology) on 2022-04-12, plus Paicon (AI) and Aleph Alpha (AI) add a separate AI thread. AI shows up 2+ times as well (paretos $9M on 2024-10-28; Aleph Alpha $27M on 2021-07-27; Paicon is Seed but undisclosed on 2022-11-22), while other categories generally appear once.

Musaic’s $100K Pre-Seed on 2021-02-15 is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows shown, creating a wide disclosed range up to Affimed’s $90M (2022-04-13). On the high end, the $63M Getsafe Series B (2021-10-06) and $90M Affimed Post-IPO Equity (2022-04-13) are clear scale outliers relative to the many $2M–$27M disclosed rounds.
