Among the 16 most recent manufacturing rounds in San Francisco, the only disclosed deal above the $50M mark is Archer’s $300M (2025-02-11); the next-largest disclosed amounts cluster far lower at $40M (XWING, 2021-04-15), $34M (Lightship, 2024-01-17), and $20M (Mantle, 2024-07-10), making Archer an outlier by size. Most disclosed rounds also fit a mid-range: Basalt Tech’s $500K (2024-04-03) is the smallest disclosed amount, while several deals concentrate between $5M and $20M (e.g., Procense.ai $2M on 2025-09-09; Adaptive $7M on 2025-04-22; SamaCare $17M on 2024-05-21; Orderful $15M on 2024-11-13). The list is tightly San Francisco–anchored (every row is in San Francisco or San Francisco, California), with no geographic splits to reconcile. Temporally, rounds span 2020-12-01 (Ziiko Robotics Inc.) through 2025-09-09 (Procense.ai), and the most recent 6 entries run from 2024-11-13 to 2025-09-09, indicating a late-2024 to mid-2025 concentration. Staging is mixed: 4 of 16 entries are “Series Unknown” and 2 of 16 are “undisclosed,” with disclosed amounts otherwise distributed across Seed through Series C and one Series A at $1.0B (TeraWatt Infrastructure, 2022-09-13).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed manufacturing round in San Francisco here, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Archer’s $300M disclosed round on 2025-02-11 is the only deal above $50M in the 16-row slice. The next-largest disclosed amounts are much lower—$40M for XWING (2021-04-15) and $34M for Lightship (2024-01-17)—so Archer’s disclosed size dominates the distribution.
Are there noticeable clusters in time among these San Francisco manufacturing rounds?
Yes: the most recent 6 entries span 2024-11-13 (Orderful) through 2025-09-09 (Procense.ai), with multiple rounds in 2025 (e.g., Archer on 2025-02-11, Adaptive on 2025-04-22, and Procense.ai on 2025-09-09). Overall coverage runs from 2020-12-01 (Ziiko Robotics Inc.) to 2025-09-09, but the later window is denser.
Which stage labels dominate, and what fraction of entries have missing/unclear funding amounts or series?
On stage labels, Seed appears repeatedly (Procense.ai 2025-09-09 at $2M; Adaptive 2025-04-22 at $7M; Diagon 2024-04-17 at $5M; Basalt Tech 2024-04-03 at $500K; Imagia 2023-04-07 at $5M), while “Series Unknown” shows up in 4 of 16 rows. In parallel, 2 of 16 entries list an “undisclosed” amount (munchrooms 2025-05-05; Grove 2022-11-11).
Is there a clear low-end outlier among disclosed amounts, and how low do the smallest disclosed rounds go?
Basalt Tech’s $500K disclosed round on 2024-04-03 is the smallest disclosed amount in the list. Several other disclosed Seed rounds are higher (e.g., Diagon $5M on 2024-04-17 and Imagia $5M on 2023-04-07), so Basalt Tech sits at the low end of the disclosed range.
Are there outliers by size other than Archer, especially those far above typical disclosed levels?
TeraWatt Infrastructure’s $1.0B disclosed round on 2022-09-13 is the other extreme on disclosed value, substantially above the $40M peak after Archer’s $300M. Between these large outliers, many deals sit in a tighter band (e.g., Mantle $20M on 2024-07-10, SamaCare $17M on 2024-05-21, and Orderful $15M on 2024-11-13).
