Across the 26 most recent funded entries for Jacksonville, the largest disclosed round is Fanatics’ $1.5B (Private Equity) on 2022-03-02, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts—$150M for IQ Fiber (2023-05-23) and $80M for ChowCall (2023-08-15) are far below that peak. Disclosed deal sizes are also highly compressed at the low end: the smallest disclosed amount is $80K for ChowCall (2023-08-15), while many other disclosed rounds sit in the hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.
Timing is clustered toward the recent quarter: five rounds have dates between 2025-04-14 and 2025-09-17 (e.g., VerQ at $750K on 2025-09-17; Safe & Green Holdings at $8M on 2025-04-14), but the overall window spans 2021-11-09 (Hazlnut) through 2025-09-17. The stage labels are often non-specific: “Series Unknown” appears in 11 of 26 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 7 of 26 rows, limiting how consistently round size and stage can be compared across sectors like Energy, Health Care, and Commerce and Shopping.

Frequently asked
What stands out most in deal-size range, and which company creates the outlier?
Fanatics’ $1.5B (Private Equity) on 2022-03-02 is the only disclosed round in a vastly higher band than the rest; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $150M for IQ Fiber on 2023-05-23 and $80M for ChowCall on 2023-08-15. At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount shown is $80K for ChowCall on 2023-08-15.
How concentrated are rounds in the most recent months compared with the full date span shown?
Within the 26 rows, five dated rounds fall between 2025-04-14 (Safe & Green Holdings at $8M) and 2025-09-17 (VerQ at $750K), indicating a recent uptick in closings in the latest quarter. The full span runs from 2021-11-09 (Hazlnut at $3M) through 2025-09-17 (VerQ).
Do stage labels (Series Unknown/undisclosed) limit comparability in this Jacksonville list?
Yes. “Series Unknown” appears in 11 of 26 rows (for example, Norlee Group on 2025-06-12 and Palladium Energy on 2023-10-24), and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 7 of 26 rows (for example, Norlee Group on 2025-06-12 and Rethreaded on 2024-08-01). Together, those labels reduce how confidently round size and stage can be compared across categories.
Are any sectors clustered, or is the list evenly spread across industries?
Sectors are not evenly spread: Energy appears in multiple entries (e.g., OnePlanet Solar Recycling $7M on 2025-04-22; Star Catcher $12M on 2024-07-24; Palladium Energy $10M on 2023-10-24), and Health Care also repeats (e.g., Telescope Health $200K on 2022-10-17; Sterile Geeks VR $250K on 2022-09-01; Acclivity Health Solutions $13M on 2022-08-11). Commerce and Shopping is another recurring category (e.g., ChowCall $80K on 2023-08-15; Campus Legends undisclosed on 2022-04-06; Fanatics $1.5B on 2022-03-02).
Which entries suggest potential geographic ambiguity inside the ‘Jacksonville’ label?
Most rows list “Jacksonville, Florida, United States,” but there are notable non-Florida entries: Connect2First is listed as Jacksonville, Arkansas (2023-12-01; $18M), CCK Automations as Jacksonville, Illinois (2025-06-11; undisclosed), and ChowCall as Jacksonville, North Carolina (2023-08-15; $80K). These non-Florida geographies are small in count but distinct in how they could affect regional comparisons.
