Disclosed funding in Kirkland is highly uneven: Chainguard’s Series D on 2025-04-23 is $356M, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts, including Rain City Capital’s $200M (2024-10-24) and Echodyne’s $135M (2022-06-13). Several rounds also sit in smaller clusters across the calendar, but the distribution shows a clear “few very large, many mid-to-small” pattern rather than a tight spread.
Across 31 rows, most entries are listed as Kirkland, Washington, with one notable geography shift to Kirkland, Quebec for Valeo Pharma ($5M) on 2023-09-27. Temporally, the window runs from 2020-07-28 (AstrumU, Inc., $8M) through 2025-08-15 (Aigen, $5M). Stage/classification data is fragmented: 14 of 31 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 1 row is explicitly “undisclosed” (NEOH USA, 2025-07-15). Sector frequency is concentrated around “Information Technology/Data and Analytics” themes, with multiple entries such as Chainguard (2025-04-23), INRIX (2023-08-08, $70M), and Codepoint Technologies (2023-03-20, $1M).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Kirkland list, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Chainguard’s $356M Series D on 2025-04-23 is the only disclosed amount in this table that clearly sits far above the rest; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $200M (Rain City Capital, 2024-10-24) and $135M (Echodyne, 2022-06-13).
Are there tight temporal clusters among the most recent rounds?
Yes. Between 2023-08-08 (INRIX, $70M) and 2023-08-17 (Pivotal Commware, $102M), two large disclosed rounds fall within about 10 days, and there’s also a concentration of ~$1M to ~$23M rounds from 2024-04-15 (Freespira, Inc., $23M) through 2024-10-24 (Rain City Capital, $200M), rather than evenly spaced dates.
Which stage or classification labels dominate, and do they affect how “largest round” comparisons should be interpreted?
“Series Unknown” appears in 14 of 31 rows (for example, Aigen $5M on 2025-08-15 and Rain City Capital $200M on 2024-10-24). The only explicit “undisclosed” amount is NEOH USA on 2025-07-15, so largest-round comparisons rely on disclosed amounts like Chainguard’s $356M rather than including that row.
Is Kirkland, Washington the only geography here, or do any out-of-city entries stand out?
Most rows are Kirkland, Washington (e.g., Chainguard in 2025-04-23; Prism Worldwide in 2024-11-19). Valeo Pharma is the main exception, listed as Kirkland, Quebec, Canada with a $5M undisclosed-stage round on 2023-09-27.
Are there sector concentrations that repeat across multiple entries?
Information Technology and adjacent “Data and Analytics” appears repeatedly: Chainguard (Information Technology, 2025-04-23, $356M), Ambit (Data and Analytics, 2024-09-03, $1M), INRIX (Data and Analytics, 2023-08-08, $70M), and Codepoint Technologies (Data and Analytics, 2023-03-20, $1M).
Which entry is the smallest disclosed amount, and does it stand out versus the rest?
AccelOne shows the smallest disclosed funding at $100K on 2021-11-04 (Seed). It sits well below the rest of the disclosed range—for example, $500K for Zenigata Ventures (2022-12-09) and $1M for multiple companies such as Ambit (2024-09-03) and Codepoint Technologies (2023-03-20).
