Across the 50 most recent disclosed rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Agree Realty’s $341M (2025-04-23). That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds, where the next-largest disclosed entries cluster around the tens of millions (for example, Optilogic at $40M on 2025-04-08 and Shoulder Innovations at $40M on 2025-07-21; also multiple $20M rounds such as Akadeum Life Sciences at $20M on 2025-06-03 and Ocuphire Pharma at $20M on 2025-03-21).
The dates span from 2024-10-28 (Derq, AI) through 2025-09-24 (SciTech Development, Biotechnology). “Series Unknown” dominates the classifications, appearing in 27 of 50 rows, while “undisclosed” amounts appear in 5 of 50 rows; several of the biggest deals also sit amid a mid-2025 concentration (notably May–August 2025), with Ann Arbor recurring across multiple categories (e.g., ADASTEC at $3M on 2025-07-16, SkySpecs at $20M on 2025-03-19, and Amesite at $4M on 2025-01-07).

Frequently asked
Which recent disclosed round is the clearest outlier, and how much larger is it than the rest?
Agree Realty’s $341M round on 2025-04-23 is the only disclosed amount above $100M in the table shown. The next-largest disclosed amounts are far lower, including $51M (LuxWall on 2024-10-31), $40M (Optilogic on 2025-04-08 and Shoulder Innovations on 2025-07-21), and $36M (Amplitude Vascular Systems on 2025-01-28).
Do any sectors appear repeatedly enough to suggest a concentration pattern in Michigan deals?
Biotechnology shows up in at least 7 entries (e.g., SciTech Development on 2025-09-24 at $6M, Akadeum Life Sciences on 2025-06-03 at $20M, and Ocuphire Pharma on 2025-03-21 at $20M). Artificial Intelligence (AI) also appears frequently (e.g., ADASTEC at $3M on 2025-07-16, Steelhead Technologies at $13M on 2024-11-12, and Derq on 2024-10-28 with an undisclosed amount).
How often are round amounts missing or the round stage unclear in these Michigan entries?
Stage is marked “Series Unknown” in 27 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 5 of 50 rows (e.g., Intecells on 2025-06-04 and Finys on 2024-11-01). That means most rows are best treated as directional size signals rather than exact funding comparisons across stages.
Is there a tight time window where many rounds cluster, or are these evenly spread across the period shown?
While the full span runs from 2024-10-28 (Derq) to 2025-09-24 (SciTech Development), there is noticeable density in the middle of the window. For example, multiple May–August 2025 rounds appear with repeated ticket sizes (e.g., $3M–$5M rounds around 2025-08-01 through 2025-08-12 like Pearl Edison at $3M and Orb Aerospace at $5M), rather than a single burst at one specific week.
Are there notable geographic repeats (city clusters) that show up across different companies or sectors?
Ann Arbor appears repeatedly across categories, including ADASTEC (2025-07-16 at $3M, AI), Spike Neuro (2025-06-29 at $3M, Biotechnology), SkySpecs (2025-03-19 at $20M, Data and Analytics), and Amesite (2025-01-07 at $4M, AI). This city-level recurrence is stronger than the pattern for other single locations in the list.
Which stage labels look most actionable for deal-size comparisons in this Michigan table?
Because “Series Unknown” covers 27 of 50 rows, comparisons by stage are limited. Among the named stages with disclosed amounts, Series B includes several large tickets (e.g., Optilogic at $40M on 2025-04-08 and LuxWall at $51M on 2024-10-31), while Series A also includes meaningful disclosed rounds (e.g., RedoxBlox at $30M on 2024-10-30 and Jolt Energy at $4M on 2024-12-17), making them more usable than pre-seed where amounts are often smaller or “undisclosed.”
