Disclosed round sizes in the Kansas City listing are highly skewed: the largest disclosed amount is $110M for New Outlook (2025-07-17), and it sits far above the next-largest disclosed rounds ($90M PayIt on 2022-08-04, and $19M Generation Esports on 2022-05-03). Most other disclosed amounts cluster at seed/pre-seed or mid-single-digit levels (for example, $18M Benefitbay on 2026-05-21; $5M Trially on 2025-08-21; $4M Idle Smart on 2023-09-21), while several entries are undisclosed (32 of 50 rows).
Dates span 2022-02-02 (CryptoTrader.Tax) through 2026-06-12 (Aton Health). City geography is dominated by “Kansas City, Missouri” (most rows), with “Kansas City, Kansas” appearing repeatedly in biotech/AI and pre-seed contexts (e.g., dScribe AI $1M on 2025-03-05; Acenxion Biosystems $1M on 2024-08-14; CoBuild and multiple community/health entries in 2024). In stage mix, “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” are common: 28 rows are labeled “Series Unknown,” and only a smaller subset show seed, pre-seed, grant, Series A, or Series B.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Kansas City list, and is it an outlier versus other disclosed amounts?
New Outlook’s $110M (2025-07-17) is the largest disclosed round and materially exceeds the rest of the disclosed set, where the next-highest disclosed amounts are $90M (PayIt, 2022-08-04) and $19M (Generation Esports, 2022-05-03). Multiple other disclosed rounds fall well below that range, such as Trially’s $5M (2025-08-21) and Idle Smart’s $4M (2023-09-21).
How many entries have undisclosed funding amounts, and does that affect confidence when comparing round size?
32 of the 50 rows show “undisclosed,” including several recent entries like Aton Health (Series A, 2026-06-12) and Block and Mortar (Series Unknown, 2026-06-01). As a result, comparisons of “largest” or “typical” round sizes rely on the 18 rows with disclosed amounts only.
Are the most recent rounds concentrated in a narrow time window?
The most recent date is 2026-06-12 (Aton Health), and the newest cluster spans May to June 2026 with multiple entries dated 2026-05-21 (Benefitbay $18M) through 2026-06-12. Beyond that, entries continue through 2025 (e.g., New Outlook 2025-07-17 at $110M) and back to 2022-02-02 (CryptoTrader.Tax).
Which stage classifications dominate, and where do disclosed seed/pre-seed rounds show up?
“Series Unknown” is the most frequent stage label with 28 of 50 rows, alongside many “undisclosed” amounts (32 of 50). Among disclosed amounts, seed/pre-seed appears repeatedly—for example, MnemoShare (Seed, 2026-05-29) at $100K, dScribe AI (Pre-Seed, 2025-03-05) at $1M, and Trially (Seed, 2025-08-21) at $5M.
Does location within the metro (Kansas City, MO vs Kansas City, KS) show a pattern across sectors or stages?
Kansas City, Missouri is the majority location, but Kansas City, Kansas appears repeatedly in biotech/AI and early-stage contexts, such as dScribe AI (AI, Pre-Seed, 2025-03-05) at $1M and Acenxion Biosystems (Biotechnology, Seed, 2024-08-14) at $1M. CoBuild (Real Estate, 2024-07-26) is also in Kansas City, Kansas with a disclosed $10K, contrasting with Missouri-heavy entries like Benefitbay ($18M, 2026-05-21).
Are there notable outliers in sector or funding size besides the $110M round?
Yes: PayIt’s $90M (Financial Services, 2022-08-04) is another major disclosed outlier relative to the many sub-$10M disclosed rounds in the list (for example, Deluxe Transportation Group’s $20K on 2023-03-25 and Tnemec’s $870K on 2025-06-22). Smaller disclosed lows include CoBuild’s $10K (2024-07-26) and Deluxe Transportation Group’s $20K (2023-03-25), which sit far below the rest of the disclosed range.
