Across the 20 most recent Honolulu-area rows shown, the largest disclosed round is Onebrief’s $200M Series D on 2026-01-13. That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts, where the biggest other visible rounds are $80M (Holu Hou Energy, 2024-03-12), $5M (reef.ai, 2023-03-10 and Shifted Energy, 2023-03-06 are in the same range), and several sub-$1M rounds such as $800K (Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, 2023-07-12) and $580K (Elemental Impact, 2026-04-02). The disclosed amounts also show heavy left-censoring: 8 of 20 entries are “undisclosed” and 4 of 20 use “Series Unknown,” alongside only three explicitly labeled rounds by stage (Onebrief Series D, TurnoverBnB Series A, Shifted Energy “Seed”).
Timing clusters are visible near the list edges: the most recent dated entry is Service Printers Hawaii (undisclosed) on 2026-06-18, and the 2026 segment (2026-01-13 through 2026-06-18) contains 4 rows total, including $200M for Onebrief and $580K for Elemental Impact. Sector-wise, Agriculture and Farming appears repeatedly (Elemental Impact 2026-04-02 $580K; Smart Yields 2023-05-25 $100K; Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity 2026-05-21 undisclosed; plus Kuehnle Agrosystems and Holu Hou Energy), suggesting a recurring vertical rather than a single isolated deal.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Honolulu list, and how big is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Onebrief’s $200M Series D (2026-01-13) is the only disclosed amount in the $100M range. The next-largest disclosed figure shown is Holu Hou Energy’s $35M (2024-03-12), with other large-but-lower rounds like $5M (reef.ai, 2023-03-10) and $4M (Onefund, 2023-03-27; Shifted Energy, 2023-03-06).
Are there meaningful time clusters among the 20 most recent rounds shown?
Yes: the 2026-dated entries span 2026-01-13 to 2026-06-18 and include 4 rows total—Onebrief ($200M, 2026-01-13), Elemental Impact ($580K, 2026-04-02), Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity (undisclosed, 2026-05-21), and Service Printers Hawaii (undisclosed, 2026-06-18). Outside that window, several deals cluster around May 2023 (multiple entries dated 2023-05-10 through 2023-05-25).
How common are missing or non-specific disclosures for round size and stage?
Disclosed amounts are present on 12 of the 20 rows, while 8 are “undisclosed” (e.g., Service Printers Hawaii, 2026-06-18; Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity, 2026-05-21; Kaka'ako Kasuals, 2023-05-22). Stage labels are also incomplete: 4 of 20 are “Series Unknown” (e.g., Honua Hawaiian Skincare, 2024-06-10; Trinity Investments, 2024-04-15; AccesSurf, 2023-06-05).
Does any sector show over-representation across this Honolulu set?
Agriculture and Farming appears in multiple rows across different years—Elemental Impact (2026-04-02, $580K) and Smart Yields (2023-05-25, $100K) are explicit, and Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity (2026-05-21, undisclosed) is also categorized in Agriculture and Farming. That repeated vertical presence contrasts with many other sectors that appear only once in the displayed set (for example, Internet Services only shows TurnoverBnB, 2021-08-16, $5M).
Are there outliers worth a closer look beyond the largest round size?
Beyond Onebrief’s $200M, the list contains another high-deal magnitude relative to the rest: Holu Hou Energy’s $35M (2024-03-12) is substantially larger than typical mid/low five- and six-figure disclosed amounts like $500K (Bishop Museum, 2023-05-18) and $250K (Hawaii's Finest, 2023-08-17). At the other extreme, the smallest disclosed amount shown is $50K (AccesSurf, 2023-06-05), which sits far below the bulk of disclosed rounds in the table.
