Disclosed round sizes in this Kansas list are anchored by a single outlier: Compass Minerals’ $252M post-IPO equity round on 2022-09-14 dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount, which is $28M for Lula on 2025-02-03. The remainder of disclosed rounds cluster far lower, with many in the $1M–$20M band (e.g., Daupler at $15M on 2025-03-06 and Companion Protect at $20M on 2024-08-13).
There is also a temporal concentration and a city-level pattern. The most recent 10 entries (2025-06-16 back to 2025-02-14) show repeated activity around late winter/spring 2025, while Overland Park and Lenexa appear frequently as home cities (for example, CarePilot in Leawood on 2025-06-16; Lula in Overland Park on 2025-02-03; Digital Ally in Lenexa on 2025-02-14; and American Rebel Holdings in Lenexa on 2025-04-04). Stage disclosure is mixed: 14 of the 50 rows list “Series Unknown,” and 3 list “undisclosed” amounts; overall dates span 2022-09-14 through 2025-06-16.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the clear size outlier in Kansas, and what does that imply about the rest of the list?
Compass Minerals’ $252M disclosed post-IPO equity round (2022-09-14) is the only disclosed amount far above the rest; the next-largest disclosed round is Lula’s $28M (2025-02-03), with many other disclosed entries between $1M and $20M (for example, Daupler $15M on 2025-03-06; Companion Protect $20M on 2024-08-13).
Do the most recent rounds cluster in time, or are they evenly spread across 2022–2025?
They cluster toward the latest edge: the list runs from 2022-09-14 (Compass Minerals) to 2025-06-16 (CarePilot). Within that, a run of recent entries appears from 2025-04 through 2025-06 (e.g., CarePilot $3M on 2025-06-16; Ideem $2M on 2025-04-15; Suvysoft $150K on 2025-04-14; American Rebel Holdings $3M on 2025-04-04).
Are certain Kansas cities over-represented among these funded companies?
Overland Park and Lenexa recur as locations rather than being one-offs: Overland Park appears with Lula ($28M, 2025-02-03) and Companion Protect ($20M, 2024-08-13), while Lenexa appears with American Rebel Holdings ($3M, 2025-04-04) and Digital Ally ($15M, 2025-02-14).
How much of the stage and amount information is missing or unknown, based on the table entries?
Stage is frequently not specified: 14 of the 50 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., Incent on 2025-02-19; RiseNow on 2024-10-23). Separately, 3 rows show an “undisclosed” amount (e.g., Incent 2025-02-19; RiseNow 2024-10-23; Poetry for Personal Power 2024-07-10).
What stage mix stands out for sales or investment targeting in this snapshot?
While “Series Unknown” dominates the labels (14/50), disclosed stages still include multiple concentrated points: Seed rounds appear with dScribe AI ($1M, 2025-03-05) and Invary ($4M, 2025-02-03), and larger named rounds show up as well, including Series B Daupler ($15M, 2025-03-06) and Series B Vytelle ($20M, 2023-04-04).
Are there other meaningful outliers besides the largest disclosed amount?
Yes, on the low end: the smallest disclosed amount in the table is $50K for Appsta (Pre-Seed, 2023-09-01). At the other extreme, after the Compass Minerals $252M outlier, the next tier is still sizable but much smaller—$28M for Lula (2025-02-03) and $20M for Companion Protect (2024-08-13) and Vytelle (2023-04-04).
