In this UK manufacturing slice (50 funded entries spanning 2023-01-11 through 2025-10-10), one disclosed round stands well above the rest: Agratas raised $995M on 2025-04-17, while the next-highest disclosed amounts are $230M (Gerald Group, 2025-02-07) and $210M (Nanoloom, 2023-06-08). The disclosed amounts also show a wide lower band, with the smallest disclosed round at $10K (ANDEL PLASTICS on 2023-04-26), alongside many sub-$1M rounds such as Atomik AM ($810K, 2025-05-21) and Sisaltech ($980K, 2025-01-15).
The rounds cluster by geography and by calendar window: London-based companies appear repeatedly (e.g., Space DOTS on 2025-08-19 for London; Gerald Group on 2025-02-07 at $230M; and several undisclosed rounds through 2023-10 to 2024-11), and a dense burst occurs in mid-2025 (five entries between 2025-04-17 and 2025-05-26, including Agratas at $995M and Q5D Technology at $6M on 2025-05-12). Stage disclosure is uneven: “Series Unknown” appears in 19 rows, while “undisclosed” appears in 7 rows, with the remaining entries spread across Seed, Pre-Seed, and Series A (e.g., Gen Phoenix $15M on 2025-07-15 and Q5D Technology $6M on 2025-05-12).

Frequently asked
Which company has the largest disclosed round in this UK manufacturing list, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Agratas’ $995M round on 2025-04-17 is an outlier: the next-highest disclosed amounts are $230M (Gerald Group on 2025-02-07) and $210M (Nanoloom on 2023-06-08), with most other disclosed rounds far below $100M (e.g., Atomik AM at $810K on 2025-05-21).
Do any cities dominate the concentration of funded rounds in this dataset?
London shows up repeatedly across years, including Space DOTS in London on 2025-08-19 ($3M), Agratas in London on 2025-04-17 ($995M), and Gerald Group in London on 2025-02-07 ($230M). Other frequent single-city anchors include Glasgow (Munro Vehicles on 2025-10-10; HV Systems on 2023-02-01 at $8M) and Liverpool (e.g., Atomik AM on 2025-05-21; Central Group on 2024-10-22 at $910K).
Where does the most recent activity cluster, temporally?
Recent rounds cluster in mid-to-late 2025: between 2025-04-17 (Agratas) and 2025-05-26 (ReVentas), there are multiple entries including Q5D Technology ($6M on 2025-05-12) and Atomik AM ($810K on 2025-05-21). The newest listed round is Munro Vehicles on 2025-10-10 at $3M, with the oldest listed round date at 2023-01-11 (The Bug Factory, amount undisclosed).
What does the stage mix look like, and is stage disclosure often missing?
“Series Unknown” is the largest single classification at 19 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” appears in 7 rows, so disclosed stage information is frequently incomplete. When stages are specified, Seed/Pre-Seed and Series A recur—for example, Series A includes Q5D Technology ($6M, 2025-05-12) and Supercritical ($13M, 2023-06-22), while Seed includes Space DOTS ($3M, 2025-08-19) and ViridiCO2 ($4M, 2023-03-07).
Are there low-end outliers among disclosed amounts that stand out for deal-size sensitivity?
Yes: the smallest disclosed amount is $10K for ANDEL PLASTICS on 2023-04-26, which sits far below other low-band rounds like $190K (EAV on 2023-04-11) and $210K (Nanoloom on 2023-06-08). This implies a long tail of very small disclosed rounds alongside much larger fundraising events such as Plantforce at $76M (2024-06-14).
