Frequently asked
Which round sizes stand out, and how far ahead is the largest disclosed amount?
Motor Fuel Group’s $664M (2025-08-04) is the largest disclosed round; the next-largest disclosed amount in the table is Mindtech’s $6M (2024-10-16). This makes the top round dwarf the rest by at least an order-of-magnitude scale difference versus the remaining disclosed amounts.
Do biotech companies account for a meaningful share of this Herefordshire list?
Yes. Biotechnology appears in 6 of 13 entries: Laverock Therapeutics ($3M, 2026-06-01), HQ Science Ltd. ($260K, 2024-12-01), Freeline ($26M, 2022-03-10), NeRRe Therapeutics ($28M, 2021-07-07), Gyroscope Therapeutics ($149M, 2021-03-26), Myricx Pharma ($5M, 2020-11-16), and ReViral ($44M, 2020-08-25).
Where do the companies cluster geographically within the rows shown?
Stevenage and Hereford dominate the address pattern. Stevenage is listed for 7 entries (including multiple biotech companies dated 2020–2022), while Hereford shows up for Mindtech ($6M, 2024-10-16) and Stokly ($90K, 2022-05-09), and “Hereford, Herefordshire” is also where Motor Fuel Group is located ($664M, 2025-08-04).
What does the stage mix look like, and how much is “Series Unknown”?
There are multiple stage labels, but “Series Unknown” is present in 5 of 13 rows (Laverock Therapeutics $3M on 2026-06-01; Motor Fuel Group $664M on 2025-08-04; Ruly $680K on 2025-06-09; HQ Science Ltd. $260K on 2024-12-01; and Myricx Pharma $5M on 2020-11-16). Visible named stages include Seed for Vanguard Tech ($1M, 2024-05-13) and Series C for Gyroscope Therapeutics ($149M, 2021-03-26).
Which entries fall within the most recent date window in this table?
The most recent 90-ish day slice is represented by late-stage 2025–mid/late 2026 dates: Motor Fuel Group ($664M, 2025-08-04), Ruly ($680K, 2025-06-09), and Laverock Therapeutics ($3M, 2026-06-01) are the newest entries in the list. The table’s latest date is 2026-06-01 (Laverock Therapeutics) and the earliest is 2020-08-25 (ReViral).
Are there any smaller-ticket rounds that sharply contrast with the dominant size?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount is HQ Science Ltd.’s $260K (2024-12-01), which is far below the next smallest disclosed amounts like Stokly’s $90K (2022-05-09) and contrasts strongly with the largest disclosed $664M (Motor Fuel Group, 2025-08-04). This creates a wide disclosed-amount spread even without counting any rows with blank “Series” classifications.
