Disclosed round sizes in Melbourne skew heavily toward a single outlier: RAGE Biotech’s Series A closed on 2025-11-10 at $19M, which is only one of the top tier but stands far above the many sub-$5M rounds; the next-largest disclosed amounts visible are $25M (Blinq, 2025-05-06) and $25M (Qsic, 2025-01-28), meaning $19M sits in the upper cluster rather than at the extreme ceiling. The list also shows a time clustering at the most recent end: 2025-11 has five disclosed rounds (Teacher’s Buddy $1M on 2025-11-23; Drone-Hand $470K on 2025-11-14; RAGE Biotech $19M on 2025-11-10; Giftbee $660K on 2025-11-06; SecurePII $4M on 2025-11-01). Sector concentration appears in software and data-adjacent work: Information Technology/Software/Data recur across entries such as SecurePII (2025-11-01, $4M), Conry Tech (2025-10-13, $2M), and Qsic (2025-01-28, $25M). Stage labeling is split between named rounds and missing disclosures: “Series Unknown” appears 12 times, and “undisclosed” amounts appear 5 times; rounds span 2024-08-06 (Apromore, Series B) through 2025-11-23 (Teacher’s Buddy).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds in this Melbourne feed, and are they outliers versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amounts visible are $25M for Blinq (2025-05-06) and $25M for Qsic (2025-01-28). A different upper-tier cluster includes $19M for RAGE Biotech (2025-11-10) and $15M for Andromeda Robotics (2025-09-10) and Apromore (2025-08-06), while many other disclosed rounds fall in the sub-$5M range (for example, Giftbee at $660K on 2025-11-06 and Orion Minerals at $4M on 2025-07-08).
How concentrated are rounds in the most recent window of dates shown?
The newest month is dense: five disclosed rounds fall in 2025-11 (Teacher’s Buddy $1M on 2025-11-23; Drone-Hand $470K on 2025-11-14; RAGE Biotech $19M on 2025-11-10; Giftbee $660K on 2025-11-06; SecurePII $4M on 2025-11-01). That concentration is higher than single earlier months such as 2024-12, where the feed shows TA LY ($500K on 2024-12-04) and Melbana Energy ($5M on 2025-08-21) outside the immediate cluster.
Do any stages dominate, or does “Series Unknown” materially shape the view?
Stage naming is mixed: “Series Unknown” appears 12 times across the 50 rows, including Amber Electric (2025-10-04, $10M) and Melbana Energy (2025-08-21, $5M). Named stages also show up frequently in the upper tiers, such as Series A with RAGE Biotech ($19M, 2025-11-10) and Series B with Qsic ($25M, 2025-01-28) and Kinoxis Therapeutics ($10M, 2024-08-12).
Are any sectors over-represented relative to the rest of the feed?
Information technology/software/data-adjacent work appears repeatedly: SecurePII (Cyber Security/Cloud Computing/Finance, $4M on 2025-11-01), Plexus (Information Technology, $4M on 2025-05-14), and Qsic (Artificial Intelligence, $25M on 2025-01-28) indicate a recurring cluster. Biotech also recurs multiple times (RAGE Biotech $19M on 2025-11-10; Propanc $3M on 2025-08-14; Ena Respiratory $5M on 2025-02-10; Kinoxis Therapeutics $10M on 2024-08-12).
Which entries are notable for missing disclosed amounts, and do they affect outlier detection?
Five rows show “undisclosed” amounts, including Global IT Factory (2025-03-27), CapStack (2024-12-14), Snapcash (2024-10-16), Cell Bauhaus (2024-10-10), and Compass Education (2024-08-20). Because these amounts are not provided, comparisons of “largest” and “smallest disclosed” should rely only on rows with dollar figures, such as 1receipt® at $50K on 2025-07-21 for the low end among disclosed amounts.
