Among the 50 recently dated Manchester-linked rounds, the only disclosed figure above the rest’s top band is Park Properties Housing Association’s $1.0B (2026-04-20). That outlier dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts in the list: Kingsland Drinks at $88M (2026-04-27), UrbanChain at $63M (2024-12-16), and LBG Media at $46M (2026-06-19). A second pattern is concentration: multiple entries cluster in late April 2026 (e.g., LBG Media $46M on 2026-06-19 isn’t late-April, but Kingsland Drinks on 2026-04-27, Firenze on 2026-04-21, and Park Properties Housing Association on 2026-04-20), while the dataset also stretches back to 2024-11-20 (Street Group, $4M), with the most recent round dated 2026-06-24 (Ello Group $22M; Scan-Optics is undisclosed). Stage and disclosure are mixed: “Series Unknown” appears in 21 rows, and “undisclosed” appears in 9 rows, while the smallest disclosed amount is HealthOrbit AI at $70K (2026-03-01). Sector coverage is broad, but AI-related entries recur often (e.g., Imperagen $7M on 2026-05-20; Scoutd.AI undisclosed on 2026-04-01; UrbanChain $63M on 2024-12-16).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Manchester feed, and how different is it from the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Park Properties Housing Association’s $1.0B (2026-04-20) is the clear outlier. The next-highest disclosed amounts nearby in size are far lower, including Kingsland Drinks’ $88M (2026-04-27) and UrbanChain’s $63M (2024-12-16), with LBG Media at $46M (2026-06-19).
Do recent rounds cluster into a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread across the date range?
They’re not evenly spread. Several large disclosed rounds fall in the same late-April 2026 window (e.g., Kingsland Drinks $88M on 2026-04-27; Firenze $8M on 2026-04-21; Park Properties Housing Association $1.0B on 2026-04-20), while the overall list spans from 2026-06-24 back to 2024-11-20 (Street Group, $4M).
How much of the dataset is non-quantified on amount (undisclosed or Series Unknown), and does that affect comparisons?
Disclosed comparisons are constrained by missing values: 9 rows show “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Scan-Optics on 2026-06-24; Is this you on 2026-06-15), and 21 rows are labeled “Series Unknown.” The largest comparison (Park Properties Housing Association $1.0B on 2026-04-20) is still valid because that amount is disclosed, but many other large-ticket signals can’t be ranked when amounts are missing.
Which sectors show repeated representation, based on multiple entries in the list?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears repeatedly across different stages and sizes, including Imperagen (AI) $7M on 2026-05-20, Scoutd.AI (AI) on 2026-04-01 with an undisclosed amount, and UrbanChain (AI) $63M on 2024-12-16. Other sectors are present, but AI is the recurring theme with multiple dated entries.
Are there notable geography patterns, given “Manchester” appears in multiple countries and states?
Geography is mixed even when the city label reads “Manchester.” Most rows are Manchester, United Kingdom (e.g., LBG Media $46M on 2026-06-19; Kingsland Drinks $88M on 2026-04-27), but the list also includes Manchester, Connecticut (Scan-Optics, 2026-06-24, undisclosed) and Manchester, New Hampshire (Tabletop Tycoon $1M on 2025-10-17).
