The largest disclosed round in Karlsruhe is ILOS Projects’ $530M on 2026-04-14, which stands well above the next-highest disclosed amount (INERATEC’s $128M on 2024-01-16) and dwarfs the mid-$10M to low-$20M cluster visible across other disclosed rounds (e.g., Daedalus at $21M on 2024-02-08, Probably Genetic at $11M on 2023-11-01, Nesto at $13M on 2026-04-13). Disclosed amounts are also tightly concentrated near the top of the list: 2026-04-13 and 2026-04-14 account for two of the three disclosed rounds in 2026, while the earliest disclosed entry shown is thingsTHINKING on 2021-05-10 ($6M), with other older disclosed rounds including askui ($100K, 2021-07-27) and ValueWorks.ai ($800K, 2021-12-21).

Across the 16 rows, sector repetition is limited, but Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears in 3 entries (Nesto 2026-04-13, Daedalus 2024-02-08, thingsTHINKING 2021-05-10). Stage labels are split between clearly identified rounds and missing classifications: 5 entries are “Series Unknown” and 2 are “undisclosed” by amount, creating gaps in any disclosed-amount comparisons. The most recent round date in the list is 2026-04-14 (ILOS Projects), and the smallest disclosed amount is Traggert’s $400K on 2022-03-07.

Frequently asked

What stands out in Karlsruhe by disclosed round size, and is there a clear outlier?

ILOS Projects’ $530M disclosed round on 2026-04-14 is the dominant outlier; the next-largest disclosed amount is INERATEC’s $128M on 2024-01-16, while most other disclosed rounds cluster below that (e.g., Daedalus $21M on 2024-02-08 and HQS Quantum Simulations $14M on 2022-01-25).

Are recent rounds clustered into a narrow time window?

Yes: two disclosed rounds land back-to-back in late April 2026, with Nesto at $13M on 2026-04-13 and ILOS Projects at $530M on 2026-04-14. Beyond that spike, the list is spread from 2021-05-10 (thingsTHINKING $6M) through 2026-04-14, so the concentration is mostly at the 2026 edge.

Do any sectors appear more frequently than others in this city listing?

Artificial Intelligence appears in 3 of the 16 rows (Nesto 2026-04-13 at $13M, Daedalus 2024-02-08 at $21M, and thingsTHINKING 2021-05-10 with $6M). No other sector repeats at the same frequency in the rows shown.

How complete is the stage and amount disclosure, and does it affect pattern spotting?

Stage/category coverage is incomplete: 5 entries are labeled “Series Unknown” (e.g., ILOS Projects 2026-04-14 $530M and Nesto 2026-04-13 $13M), and 2 entries have “undisclosed” amounts (Chrono24 on 2024-06-04; Kamedi on 2023-03-15). That means comparisons that rely strictly on disclosed amounts will exclude those two companies.

Which entries are within the tightest recent window visible on the page?

Within roughly the most recent two weeks shown, there are two disclosed rounds: Nesto’s $13M on 2026-04-13 and ILOS Projects’ $530M on 2026-04-14. Other 2026 entries in the list are not present, and the next disclosed amounts step back to 2024-06-04 (Chrono24, undisclosed) and 2024-05-13 (Freshtaste $1M).
