In Louisville, the largest disclosed round on this page is Solid Power’s $130M (2026-01-28), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount at $90M (Rezolute, 2025-04-23). The disclosed amounts also show a clear long tail: the smallest disclosed entry is Claustrum Design’s $20K (2026-06-04), sitting far below the $8M–$42M cluster that includes Gaia ($8M, 2025-02-06), HANDLE Global ($9M, 2023-10-03), and Forge Nano ($42M, 2026-04-21).
Rounds span from 2023-01-12 (1109 Bravo, undisclosed) to 2026-07-21 (Sofab, $6M), with multiple large prints concentrated in 2025–2026: Swimlane ($45M, 2025-06-10), Forge Nano ($42M, 2026-04-21), and Sofab’s $6M (2026-07-21) bookend a busy late-period window. Sector-wise, Financial Services, Health Care, and Consumer Electronics each recur in 3+ entries, while “Series Unknown” appears as the most common stage label among shown rows—16 of 34 disclosed rounds are undisclosed by amount, shaping how often deals can be compared by size.

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in Louisville here, and how sharply does it stand out?
Solid Power’s $130M disclosed round (2026-01-28) is the top print and dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount of $90M (Rezolute, 2025-04-23). The remainder is much lower, with only a handful of disclosed rounds in the $23M–$45M band (e.g., Swimlane $45M on 2025-06-10; Forge Nano $42M on 2026-04-21).
Are there time clusters where many larger disclosed rounds land close together?
Large disclosed rounds concentrate in the 2025–2026 window: Rezolute $90M (2025-04-23), Swimlane $45M (2025-06-10), and Forge Nano $42M (2026-04-21) all fall within roughly three years. Earlier years include big but fewer disclosed entries such as Accelecom’s $31M (2023-11-13) and HANDLE Global’s $9M (2023-10-03).
Do any sectors appear repeatedly enough to treat Louisville as sector-skewed on this page?
Yes: Financial Services, Health Care, and Consumer Electronics each appear in 3+ entries, spanning both disclosed and undisclosed amounts (e.g., Forecastr Financial Services $7M on 2026-05-19; HANDLE Global Health Care $9M on 2023-10-03; Swimlane Consumer Electronics $45M on 2025-06-10). That recurrence supports targeted outreach rather than a uniform mix.
How does the stage labeling affect deal-size comparisons across this list?
“Series Unknown” is a major classification among the rows, and 16 of the 50 entries have undisclosed disclosed amounts, limiting size-based ranking to 34 disclosed records. For example, Forecastr is tagged Series A with $7M (2026-05-19), while multiple “Series Unknown” entries—like RAAPID INC on 2026-04-09—do not provide an amount to compare.
What are the practical outliers in disclosed round size?
The distribution is wide: the smallest disclosed amount is Claustrum Design at $20K (2026-06-04), while the largest is Solid Power at $130M (2026-01-28). Mid-range disclosed deals cluster around single-digit to tens of millions (e.g., Gaia $8M on 2025-02-06; DPL Financial Partners $23M on 2024-12-03; Forge Nano $42M on 2026-04-21).
