Among the 50 most recent Australia-based information technology rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Security Matters at $100M (2025-12-01). That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts nearby in size, such as Orro Group’s $99M (2023-03-08) and Q-CTRL’s $59M (2024-10-08), while most other disclosed rounds sit far lower (many are in the $1M–$20M band, including Arkeus at $18M on 2026-05-15). Date-wise, recent activity clusters tightly: 3 entries from 2026 (2026-01 through 2026-05) and a denser run across mid-2025 to late-2025, including Security Matters ($100M, 2025-12-01) and Nexl ($23M, 2025-10-08). Geographically, New South Wales appears repeatedly (e.g., DeteQt in Sydney on 2026-04-14, Gridsight in Wollongong on 2025-04-08, and Soprano Design in Sydney on 2023-01-03), but Victoria and Queensland also recur. Stage and disclosure are mixed: 19 of 50 entries list “Series Unknown” and 3 list “undisclosed” amounts, creating interpretability gaps around some round sizes.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Australia IT set, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Security Matters’ $100M on 2025-12-01 is the top disclosed amount in the 50-row view, and it stands above the next-largest disclosed figures like Orro Group’s $99M (2023-03-08) and Q-CTRL’s $59M (2024-10-08). Outside that upper tier, many disclosed rounds fall well below $20M (for example, Arkeus $18M on 2026-05-15 and DeteQt $4M on 2026-04-14).
Do rounds concentrate in a recent time window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They’re not evenly spread: the rows run from 2022-09-26 (6clicks) through 2026-05-15 (Arkeus), with a clear density from 2023-05 onward and multiple high-disclosed rounds in 2024–2025 (e.g., Q-CTRL $59M on 2024-10-08 and Security Matters $100M on 2025-12-01). The newest entry is Arkeus on 2026-05-15.
Which disclosure labels dominate here, and what does that imply for comparing round sizes?
“Series Unknown” appears in 19 of 50 entries, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 3 of 50, so comparisons by stage are constrained for roughly one-quarter of the rows. For instance, Arcology (Series Unknown, $50K on 2026-01-22) and Global IT Factory (Series Unknown, undisclosed on 2025-03-27) show how disclosure gaps can skew size analysis.
Are any states or cities over-represented relative to the rest of the geography column?
New South Wales shows up repeatedly across different cities and companies (Sydney: DeteQt $4M on 2026-04-14, Nullify $13M on 2026-02-05, Soprano Design $66M on 2023-01-03; Wollongong: Gridsight $5M on 2025-04-08; North Sydney: Nexl $23M on 2025-10-08). Victoria and Queensland also recur (e.g., Security Matters in Melbourne $100M on 2025-12-01 and Reshop in Brisbane $17M on 2025-01-15), but NSW is the most consistently repeated location.
Are there notable outliers on the low end that could affect median-like thinking for disclosed amounts?
Yes. TOTEX at $80K on 2024-08-02 and ScaffPlan at $30K on 2023-05-15 are among the smallest disclosed amounts shown, while the upper tail includes Security Matters at $100M (2025-12-01). This combination suggests the disclosed-size distribution is heavy-tailed, with small rounds like $30K–$110K (e.g., ARGOS Cloud Security $110K on 2023-05-01) far below the dominant $1M+ cluster.
