Across the 5 most recent Middlesbrough entries, the only clearly disclosed round above $50M is GB Bank’s $27M (2024-10-03); the next-largest disclosed amount is Salesfire’s $4M (2024-11-12), with the remaining disclosed rounds at $190K each (OptiMe on 2025-03-12 and Positive Support For You on 2024-11-14). That creates a steep disclosed-amount gradient where one finance-backed check dwarfs the $4M commerce round and the two $190K deals.
The dates cluster tightly in late 2024, with three rounds in November 2024 (Positive Support For You $190K on 2024-11-14; Salesfire $4M on 2024-11-12) and one in October 2024 (GB Bank $27M on 2024-10-03), bookended by an April 2026 undisclosed entry (Steel Benders Uk on 2026-04-21) and a single March 2025 disclosed round (OptiMe $190K on 2025-03-12). Sectors are split with no repeated sector across 3+ entries; all 5 rows are labeled “Series Unknown,” and 1 row is “undisclosed” on amount.
