Across the 6 most recent funded entries in Kirklees, the only disclosed round above the $5M level is Wayland Additive’s $5M Series A (2024-01-23). All other disclosed amounts sit below that ceiling—Andel at $260K (2025-04-08) and Cuvama at $2M in 2022-03-25—while the two most recent rounds (2026-05-18 ValvePro; 2026-05-14 AppCheck Ltd) are labeled undisclosed. Sector-wise, “Information Technology/IT” appears more than once only at the company level (Cuvama is IT; others are concentrated in Hardware, Manufacturing, Commerce & Shopping, Professional Services, and Other), while the stage labels are dominated by “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” entries. Geographically, five of six are based in Huddersfield, with one in Birstall (AppCheck Ltd, 2026-05-14). Temporally, the shown rounds span from 2022-03-25 (Cuvama) to 2026-05-18 (ValvePro), clustering most visibly in the latest months despite the lack of disclosed amounts for those entries.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the latest Kirklees list, and does it stand out vs the other disclosed amounts?
Wayland Additive’s $5M Series A (2024-01-23) is the largest disclosed amount shown. The next disclosed amounts are Cuvama’s $2M (2022-03-25) and Andel’s $260K (2025-04-08), putting Wayland in a different disclosed-size tier.
How concentrated are the most recent rounds by time window, given the Kirklees entries shown?
Two of the six entries fall within a 4-day span in May 2026: ValvePro (2026-05-18, undisclosed) and AppCheck Ltd (2026-05-14, undisclosed). Beyond that late-2025/early-2026 cluster, disclosed visibility is sparse, with only Andel ($260K, 2025-04-08) and Wayland Additive ($5M, 2024-01-23) providing amounts in between.
Which cities dominate the geographic pattern in this list of Kirklees-funded companies?
Huddersfield accounts for five of six entries: ValvePro, Andel, Wayland Additive, BluWin, and Cuvama are all listed in Huddersfield. The only exception is AppCheck Ltd in Birstall (2026-05-14).
What stage mix dominates, and how much of the list lacks disclosed amounts?
Stage labels in the rows skew toward uncertainty: ValvePro and AppCheck Ltd are “undisclosed,” and BluWin is also “undisclosed,” making three of six entries without a disclosed amount. The remaining three include one Series A (Wayland Additive, $5M on 2024-01-23), one Pre-Seed (Cuvama, $2M on 2022-03-25), and one “Series Unknown” with a disclosed amount (Andel, $260K on 2025-04-08).
Are there outliers by disclosed size or sector that warrant closer review?
On disclosed size, the outlier is Wayland Additive’s $5M (2024-01-23), which is substantially above Cuvama’s $2M (2022-03-25) and far above Andel’s $260K (2025-04-08). On sector, Manufacturing (Wayland Additive) is the only row explicitly tied to the largest disclosed amount, while the most recent two entries (ValvePro in Commerce & Shopping; AppCheck Ltd in Other) have undisclosed amounts.
