Funded Startups in Jacksonville
The largest disclosed amount in the Jacksonville results is Fanatics’ $1.5B private equity round (2022-03-02).
The largest disclosed amount in the Jacksonville results is Fanatics’ $1.5B private equity round (2022-03-02). Every other disclosed amount in the table is far below that figure, with the next-highest disclosed entries including IQ Fiber at $150M (2023-05-23) and Duos Edge AI at $98M (2026-06-05), making Fanatics a clear size outlier rather than the top of a close distribution.
The 30 rows span from 2021-11-09 (Hazlnut, $3M) through 2026-06-17 (Duos Technologies, $55M), but recent activity clusters heavily in 2025–2026: multiple entries land from 2025-04-14 to 2025-12-03 and again through mid-2026. Geographically, most rounds are tagged “Jacksonville, Florida” (e.g., Duos Technologies on 2026-06-17; Star Catcher on 2026-05-12), but the table also includes other “Jacksonville” locations (Jacksonville, Arkansas; Jacksonville, Illinois; Jacksonville, North Carolina). Stage/amount reporting is also skewed: 11 of 30 rows are “undisclosed” in amount, and “Series Unknown” appears on 14 of 30 rows.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Jacksonville set, and is it close to the rest?
Fanatics’ $1.5B private equity round (2022-03-02) is the only disclosed amount in the billion-dollar range. The next-highest disclosed figures are much smaller, including IQ Fiber at $150M (2023-05-23) and Duos Edge AI at $98M (2026-06-05), while many other disclosed rounds fall below $20M.
Where do the most recent rounds cluster by date?
The newest entry is Duos Technologies at $55M on 2026-06-17, with another large adjacent datapoint Duos Edge AI at $98M on 2026-06-05. A dense middle-recent block runs through 2025 (e.g., OnePlanet Solar Recycling $7M on 2025-04-22; Fintainium $8M on 2025-12-03), followed by continued activity into mid-2026 (e.g., Star Catcher $65M on 2026-05-12).
Which “Jacksonville” geographies are over-represented, and are there same-name city confusions?
Most rows use “Jacksonville, Florida” (for example, Duos Edge AI on 2026-06-05 and IQ Fiber on 2023-05-23). The list also spans other states under the same place name, including Jacksonville, Arkansas (Connect2First on 2023-12-01), Jacksonville, Illinois (CCK Automations on 2025-06-11), and Jacksonville, North Carolina (ChowCall on 2023-08-15).
How dominant are generic stage labels versus specified stages?
“Series Unknown” appears on 14 of 30 rows, and “undisclosed” amount appears on 11 of 30 rows, so both stage and disclosed value are frequently not pinned down. Specified stages still show up (e.g., Star Catcher as Series A at $65M on 2026-05-12; Hazlnut as Series A at $3M on 2021-11-09), but the classification is often non-specific.
Are there notable sector clusters, or is the mix fragmented?
The sector mix is fragmented rather than tightly clustered by repeated labels; however, Energy recurs multiple times (Star Catcher, OnePlanet Solar Recycling, Palladium Energy, Norlee Group). Health Care also shows up repeatedly across years (Telescope Health on 2022-10-17 with $200K; Sterile Geeks VR on 2022-09-01 with $250K; Acclivity Health Solutions on 2022-08-11 with $13M).
