Disclosed funding amounts in this Lafayette-filtered list show a wide spread: the largest disclosed round is SLANT Energy’s $90M (Private Equity, 2022-02-24), which is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $20M (Adranos Energetics, Series A, 2022-04-26) and $10M (FlyGuys, Series A, 2023-10-25; CityBus, Series Unknown, 2023-07-07). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is $10K, appearing for Greater Lafayette Career Academy (Series Unknown, 2026-06-12) and Hanna Community Center (Series Unknown, 2023-06-13), alongside multiple “undisclosed” amounts.
The stage and geography mix are also uneven. “Series Unknown” appears in 7 of 25 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 6 of 25 rows, with the most recent round dated 2026-06-12 (Greater Lafayette Career Academy). Sector-wise, Energy and Community and Lifestyle each show up in 3 entries within the 2022-02-24 to 2026-06-12 window, while Lafayette is split across multiple states (Indiana, California, Colorado, Louisiana), suggesting a namesake/geography clustering effect rather than one single local market.
