AI is the clearest concentration, appearing in 3 entries: InVirtuoLabs (2026-02-11, $3M), Sartiq (2025-09-23, $3M), and The Nemesis (2025-05-16, $600K).

Pre-Seed also shows up multiple times (Crion at $190K on 2024-02-23 and Intraverse with undisclosed amount on 2024-02-13; Sartiq is Pre-Seed at $3M on 2025-09-23), while “undisclosed” amounts appear on PrimalBee (2024-10-18, Seed) and Sinomedica (2022-06-02, Private Equity).
How should analysts treat missing or non-specific financing classifications in this list?
4 entries are labeled “Series Unknown” (Centiel $38M on 2026-04-15; Energy Vault $136M on 2026-02-11; InVirtuoLabs $3M on 2026-02-11; Centiel aside, the pattern is concentrated in early 2026). Separately, 2 entries report “undisclosed” amounts—PrimalBee (2024-10-18, Seed) and Sinomedica (2022-06-02, Private Equity)—which limits comparisons based on disclosed size for those companies.
