In Macclesfield, the disclosed deal sizes show a clear outlier: Gelmetix raised $7M (2021-05-14), while the next-largest disclosed amount is Acquired.com’s $5M (2024-10-14); all other disclosed figures fall to $1M (Alderley Lighthouse Labs, 2023-08-14), $700K (Cryoniss, 2022-01-17). Sector-wise, Health and Human Services ($1M on 2023-08-14), Biotechnology ($7M on 2021-05-14), and Financial Services ($5M on 2024-10-14) all appear, but Financial Services is represented by just one disclosed round versus a single each in the other named sectors.

Temporally, the five most recent rows span 2021-05-14 through 2025-11-19, clustering more recent activity in 2024–2025: Acquired.com (2024-10-14, $5M) and Zuto (2025-11-19, undisclosed) sit just after an earlier $1M event in 2023 and a mid-window $700K round in 2022. On stage labels, five of the five entries are “Series Unknown” or blank, with only Cryoniss explicitly tagged as Seed (2022-01-17).

Frequently asked

What’s the largest disclosed round in Macclesfield here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?

Gelmetix’s $7M (2021-05-14) is the largest disclosed amount, only modestly above Acquired.com’s $5M (2024-10-14); the remaining disclosed rounds are much smaller at $1M (Alderley Lighthouse Labs, 2023-08-14) and $700K (Cryoniss, 2022-01-17).

Do the most recent rounds cluster into a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread across years?

They cluster toward the recent end: two entries fall in 2024–2025 (Acquired.com on 2024-10-14 and Zuto on 2025-11-19), with the next disclosed rounds stepping back to 2023-08-14 ($1M) and 2022-01-17 ($700K). The earliest disclosed amount shown is Gelmetix’s 2021-05-14 $7M.

Are any sectors over-represented in this small set, or is it evenly distributed?

In these five rows, sectors are not concentrated: Financial Services appears once with a disclosed amount ($5M on 2024-10-14 by Acquired.com), Biotechnology appears once ($7M on 2021-05-14 by Gelmetix), and Health and Human Services appears once ($1M on 2023-08-14 by Alderley Lighthouse Labs), with the remaining two entries in Other (Cryoniss) and a blank sector label pattern not shown as another repeat.

How dominant is the stage labeling, and are there meaningful outliers in stage classification?

Stage detail is limited: four entries are “Series Unknown” (Zuto 2025-11-19 undisclosed; Acquired.com 2024-10-14 $5M; Alderley Lighthouse Labs 2023-08-14 $1M; Zuto and the other are “Series Unknown”), one entry has a blank stage label (Gelmetix on 2021-05-14 $7M), and only Cryoniss is explicitly tagged as Seed (2022-01-17 $700K).

Is there a notable outlier due to undisclosed funding versus disclosed amounts?

Yes: Zuto (2025-11-19) is listed with an undisclosed amount, while the other disclosed rounds range from $700K to $7M (Cryoniss at $700K in 2022-01-17 and Gelmetix at $7M in 2021-05-14). This makes the only fully comparable size profile rely on the four disclosed entries.
