The largest disclosed round in this Lancashire set is Kingswood Homes’ $37M (2023-05-04), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts shown: Fuuse’s $8M (2025-10-13) and Velocity Composites’ $8M (2023-08-09), followed by Celerity’s $20M (2021-11-24) and smaller $7M and below. That size dispersion is visible alongside a timing cluster: six of the 20 rows have round dates between 2022-03-08 and 2022-03-29 (Miralis $2M on 2022-03-08, TymeOnline $200K on 2022-03-21, Relative Insight $7M on 2022-03-29). Geographically, Lancaster appears repeatedly (Fuuse 2025-10-13; Panthera Biopartners 2025-08-12; The Networking People 2025-05-01; LiNa Energy 2022-11-04; Miralis 2022-03-08; Relative Insight 2022-03-29; Gaist Holdings 2021-07-22; Cannabrew 2021-05-12), while Preston and its suburbs (e.g., Leyland, Nelson) also show multiple entries (Kingswood Homes 2023-05-04; Propello Cloud 2024-10-01; Invincibles Studio 2023-04-06; Gaist Holdings 2021-07-22 listed in Lancaster but adjacent cluster elsewhere). Stage and disclosure are mixed: four of the 20 rows are explicitly Seed or Pre-Seed, while five rows show “undisclosed” amounts and four show “Series Unknown” round labels with amounts available across the period spanning 2021-01-13 to 2025-10-13.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed deal is the standout by size, and how far ahead is it from the rest of the disclosed rounds?
Kingswood Homes’ $37M on 2023-05-04 is the only disclosed amount above $20M in these 20 rows. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are $20M from Celerity (2021-11-24) and $8M from both Fuuse (2025-10-13) and Velocity Composites (2023-08-09), with most other disclosed figures at $7M or below.
Do rounds cluster in specific time windows rather than spreading evenly across 2021–2025?
Yes. The tightest cluster is late March 2022, where three separate rounds appear within weeks: Miralis ($2M on 2022-03-08), TymeOnline ($200K on 2022-03-21), and Relative Insight ($7M on 2022-03-29). A broader cluster also appears in 2023, with multiple disclosed rounds between May and August (Kingswood Homes $37M on 2023-05-04; Invincibles Studio $1M on 2023-04-06; First Class Metals $1M on 2023-06-26; Velocity Composites $8M on 2023-08-09).
Are any cities over-represented in Lancashire based on where these startups are headquartered?
Lancaster is the most repeated city across the rows: Fuuse (2025-10-13), Panthera Biopartners (2025-08-12), The Networking People (2025-05-01), LiNa Energy (2022-11-04), Miralis (2022-03-08), Relative Insight (2022-03-29), Gaist Holdings (2021-07-22), and Cannabrew (2021-05-12). Preston also recurs multiple times via entries like Propello Cloud (2024-10-01), Kingswood Homes (2023-05-04), and Invincibles Studio (2023-04-06).
What does the stage mix look like across the 20 entries—are earlier-stage rounds a bigger share than larger, later-stage rounds?
Earlier stages are present but not dominant in count. Explicitly Seed/Pre-Seed entries total four rows: Upholstery2u (Seed, $2M on 2024-05-02), LiNa Energy (Seed, $3M on 2022-11-04), Miralis (Seed, $2M on 2022-03-08), and Rocky (Pre-Seed, $400K on 2022-02-08). Larger, more capital-intensive labels appear too, including Private Equity deals like Celerity ($20M on 2021-11-24) and Relative Insight ($7M on 2022-03-29).
Are there meaningful disclosure outliers, such as very small disclosed rounds or rounds with undisclosed amounts?
The smallest disclosed amount is $200K, appearing for both Propello Cloud? (No: Propello Cloud is $330K) and specifically TymeOnline’s $200K on 2022-03-21 and Ormit Solutions’ $200K on 2023-11-06. On the other side, five of the 20 rows list the amount as “undisclosed” (e.g., Panthera Biopartners on 2025-08-12 and The Networking People on 2025-05-01), so comparisons based on disclosed size are skewed toward the remaining 15 disclosed amounts.
How much of the list uses unspecified round labeling (“Series Unknown”) versus named stages or financing types?
Round labels are often unspecified: 15 of the 20 rows use “Series Unknown” in the round-type field (including Fuuse on 2025-10-13, Velocity Composites on 2023-08-09, and Kingswood Homes on 2023-05-04), and only a smaller set have explicit labels such as Seed (Upholstery2u on 2024-05-02; LiNa Energy on 2022-11-04; Miralis on 2022-03-08), Debt Financing (TymeOnline on 2022-03-21), and Private Equity (Celerity on 2021-11-24; Relative Insight on 2022-03-29).
