Across the 19 most recent Mississippi-funded rounds, one disclosed deal stands out: ACT Entertainment’s $117M hardware round on 2024-04-10. That $117M figure is well above the rest of the disclosed amounts shown (the next-largest disclosed round is EdgeTheory’s $750K on 2023-09-22), making ACT Entertainment the clear outlier in disclosed size.
The list also clusters by time and geography: four separate rounds fall in March–April 2024 (WISPR Systems on 2024-03-05 for $300K, BidMoni on 2024-04-01 for $130K, ACT Entertainment on 2024-04-10 for $117M, and Grand Bank’s undisclosed round on 2025-06-03 is outside that window), and Jackson, Mississippi appears repeatedly (Circular Farm on 2026-04-02 for $600K; Housing Education and Economic Development on 2025-11-18 for $60K; ACT Entertainment on 2024-04-10 for $117M). Stage and amount disclosure are uneven: “Series Unknown” appears in 13 of 19 rows, and 3 of 19 rounds are labeled “undisclosed.” The window spans 2021-04-08 (DaisNotes) through 2026-04-02 (Circular Farm).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the size outlier in this Mississippi list, and how far above the rest is it?
ACT Entertainment’s disclosed $117M round on 2024-04-10 dwarfs every other disclosed amount shown; the next-largest disclosed deal is EdgeTheory’s $750K on 2023-09-22.
Do these rounds cluster in a particular time window, or are they spread evenly across the 2021–2026 range?
They show a near-term cluster in early April 2024: WISPR Systems ($300K) on 2024-03-05, BidMoni ($130K) on 2024-04-01, and ACT Entertainment ($117M) on 2024-04-10 all fall within about five weeks.
Is any city over-represented, suggesting a local hub effect within the data shown?
Jackson, Mississippi appears multiple times across different years and stages: Circular Farm (Jackson) on 2026-04-02 for $600K, Housing Education and Economic Development (Jackson) on 2025-11-18 for $60K, and ACT Entertainment (Jackson) on 2024-04-10 for $117M.
How dominated is the stage labeling here, and does it affect comparability of deal sizes?
Stage granularity is limited: 13 of 19 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 3 of 19 are explicitly “undisclosed.” That means only a minority of entries provide clearly comparable disclosed stage labels alongside amounts (e.g., Nitrase Therapeutics’ Series A $7M on 2021-11-02).
Are there sectors with repeated representation, or is this list mostly one-offs?
Agriculture and Farming shows up in multiple entries (Circular Farm on 2026-04-02 for $600K; Croptell on 2023-11-13 for $250K; Glanris on 2022-12-08 as undisclosed). Manufacturing also repeats (Hand Technologies $250K on 2024-11-20; Synergy Prototype Stamping $10K on 2023-08-23).
