Among the 35 most recent funded entries tied to Kirkland (sorted by round date descending), the largest disclosed round is Chainguard’s $356M Series D on 2025-04-23. That figure is an outlier relative to the next disclosed amounts visible here (e.g., Rain City Capital at $200M on 2024-10-24 and Echodyne at $135M on 2022-06-13), while several other rounds cluster much lower (such as $15M for Aminex Therapeutics on 2025-12-04 and $12M for Scowtt on 2025-12-08). Funding activity also concentrates in the recent window: dates span 2020-07-28 (AstrumU, Inc.) to 2026-06-30 (Young Women Empowered), with a dense run from 2022-03 through 2023-12.
Sector and stage patterns shift across that period. The list includes multiple technology-adjacent entries (e.g., Chainguard 2025-04-23; INRIX 2023-08-08; Codepoint Technologies 2023-03-20; Prodeen 2026-02-24), and “Series Unknown” plus “undisclosed” appears frequently (10 entries are labeled Series Unknown, and 6 entries show undisclosed amounts). A geographic edge case also shows up: Valeo Pharma is listed under Kirkland, Quebec, Canada (2023-09-27, $5M), alongside the predominantly Kirkland, Washington, United States records.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Kirkland dataset, and how unusual is it versus the rest?
Chainguard’s $356M Series D (2025-04-23) is the only disclosed amount above $200M in the visible rows, dwarfing Rain City Capital’s $200M (2024-10-24) and Echodyne’s $135M (2022-06-13). Several other disclosed rounds sit closer to the mid-teens to low tens (e.g., Aminex Therapeutics $15M on 2025-12-04; Scowtt $12M on 2025-12-08).
Do round dates cluster into a specific period for Kirkland-based activity?
Yes: while the dataset spans 2020-07-28 through 2026-06-30, a noticeable concentration occurs in the 2022–2023 stretch (e.g., Codepoint Technologies on 2023-03-20; INRIX on 2023-08-08; Pivotal Commware on 2023-08-17). In contrast, the very early years shown (2020-07-28 and 2020-07-29) include Wyze Labs ($15M) and AstrumU, Inc. ($8M) only.
Which sectors appear repeatedly, and where do the biggest funding amounts land?
Technology-heavy themes recur across categories: information technology/data and analytics show up multiple times (e.g., Chainguard 2025-04-23; INRIX 2023-08-08; Codepoint Technologies 2023-03-20), alongside advertising (Scowtt 2025-12-08; Vossler Media Group 2021-08-04). The largest disclosed amounts are not spread evenly across sectors, with Chainguard ($356M) leading under Information Technology and the next-largest disclosed amounts in Financial Services (Rain City Capital $200M on 2024-10-24) and Consumer Electronics (Echodyne $135M on 2022-06-13).
What does the stage mix look like, especially for “Series Unknown” and undisclosed amounts?
A sizable share of entries are not classified to a named stage: 10 are labeled “Series Unknown,” and 6 entries list the amount as “undisclosed” (e.g., Young Women Empowered 2026-06-30 and Prodeen 2026-02-24). In contrast, named stages do include multiple large rounds, such as Chainguard (Series D $356M, 2025-04-23) and Pivotal Commware (Series D $102M, 2023-08-17).
Are there outliers in geography or company listings that don’t follow the dominant Kirkland pattern?
Most records are Kirkland, Washington, United States, but Valeo Pharma is explicitly listed as Kirkland, Quebec, Canada (2023-09-27) with a $5M disclosed amount. That’s a notable geographic outlier within the same city name, compared with the dominant state-based entries such as Chainguard (Kirkland, Washington) and Rain City Capital (Kirkland, Washington).
