Five most recent Itasca, Illinois entries span 2021-11-11 to 2026-04-21, with three of the five listed rounds occurring in 2024–2025 (CardieX on 2024-10-15 at $530K; Lakeside Holding on 2025-03-05 at $930K; Kognitive Networks on 2025-11-05 at $2M). A clear size outlier appears in the disclosed amounts: Kognitive Networks’ $2M (2025-11-05) is the only disclosed figure above $930K, and it stands far above the next-largest disclosed ($930K on 2025-03-05), while the remaining disclosed amounts are lower ($530K for CardieX). Undisclosed amounts account for two of five rows (United Business Mail on 2026-04-21; National Safety Council on 2021-11-11), and the stage classifications are consistently “Series Unknown” for four of five entries, with only National Safety Council explicitly listed as a Grant (2021-11-11). Sector coverage is broad across Transportation, IT, Health Care, Government and Military, and Truck Transportation, with no sector appearing in 3+ entries among the five shown.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Itasca here, and how does it compare to the other disclosed amounts?

Yes. Three of the five entries fall in a roughly 13-month stretch from 2024-10-15 (CardieX) through 2025-11-05 (Kognitive Networks), even though the list also includes older and newer outliers at 2021-11-11 (National Safety Council, undisclosed) and 2026-04-21 (United Business Mail, undisclosed).
Which entries are within the most recent 90 days of the latest date shown, and what amounts are disclosed?
Relative to the latest round date shown (2026-04-21), none of the other dated entries fall inside a 90-day window. The only other nearby datapoint is 2025-11-05 (Kognitive Networks at $2M), which is outside that 90-day period.
