Disclosed deal sizes in this South Africa (Na - South Africa) slice are led by TymeBank’s $250M Series D on 2024-12-17, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds in the $100M–$50M range (Etana Energy’s $100M on 2024-12-04 and others such as Stitch at $55M on 2025-04-11). Below that top tier, most disclosed rounds sit in mid-single-digit millions, while some entries are far smaller (e.g., $10K rounds on 2024-08-05 for Smart View Technology, Adbot, Credipple, and Athena).
The dataset also shows temporal clustering: 2024-10-24 through 2024-12-18 contains a run of multiple financings across Energy, Financial Services, and Apps, including TymeBank ($250M, 2024-12-17) and Etana Energy ($100M, 2024-12-04). On a stage mix basis, “Series Unknown” appears in 20 of 50 rows and “undisclosed” appears in 8 of 50 rows, meaning 56% of entries lack a fully specified disclosed amount or disclosed stage classification. Geographically, most companies are listed in Johannesburg (notably Float $3M on 2025-09-14; AURA $15M on 2025-05-16; Naked Insurance $38M on 2025-01-21) and Cape Town (e.g., TurnStay $2M on 2025-08-05; Stitch $55M on 2025-04-11), indicating concentration rather than a wide spread.

Frequently asked
What deal size outlier stands out in these 50 most recent rounds, and how far above the rest is it?
TymeBank’s $250M (Series D, 2024-12-17) is the only disclosed round above $100M; the next-largest disclosed figures are $100M for Etana Energy (2024-12-04) and $55M for Stitch (2025-04-11), creating a clear top-heavy distribution.
Do any city or sector clusters appear repeatedly across the most recent dates?
Johannesburg and Cape Town dominate the locations, with multiple major disclosed rounds in each (e.g., Johannesburg: Float $3M on 2025-09-14; AURA $15M on 2025-05-16; Naked Insurance $38M on 2025-01-21. Cape Town: TurnStay $2M on 2025-08-05; Stitch $55M on 2025-04-11). Energy and Financial Services also recur frequently (e.g., Energy: Wetility $28M on 2025-06-18; Pele Energy Group $31M on 2025-03-04; Financial Services: Float $3M, Naked Insurance $38M, TymeBank $250M).
Which entries fall into the most recent 90 days shown on the page?
From the latest date in the table (Plentify, 2025-11-20), the 90-day window runs back to roughly 2025-08-20. Within that band: Float ($3M, 2025-09-14), Tekton ($20K, 2025-08-05 just outside the strict cutoff, so excluded), TurnStay ($2M, 2025-08-05 just outside), and other entries such as MoneyBadger ($400K, 2025-07-15 just outside) indicate that the table’s densest “recent” activity is concentrated around late September 2025 rather than evenly spread.
How much of the list is missing either disclosed stage or disclosed amounts?
“Series Unknown” appears in 20 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 8 of 50 rows. Together, this means a majority of entries either don’t specify stage clearly or don’t show a disclosed amount (56% of rows with at least one of those limitations, based on the counts shown).
Are there very small disclosed rounds that may be worth filtering out for size-focused outreach?
Several $10K disclosed rounds cluster on 2024-08-05 (Smart View Technology, Adbot, Credipple, and Athena), and there are other low-end prints like Tekton at $20K (2025-08-05) and Aveade/Mapha at $50K (2024-11-18). Compared with the dominant multi-million and tens-of-millions deals (e.g., AURA $15M on 2025-05-16; Omnisient $8M on 2024-08-27), these are clear low outliers.
What stage mix dominates, and how does it differ between early and later dated rounds in the table?
Later dates include a mix of specified early stages (e.g., Seed/Open Access Energy $2M on 2025-06-17; Series A Nile.ag $11M on 2025-06-10; Pre-Seed MoneyBadger $400K on 2025-07-15) alongside “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” (e.g., Plentify is Series A but undisclosed on 2025-11-20). Earlier within the table (2024-10 to 2024-12), “Series Unknown” remains common while disclosed rounds include major later-stage labels such as TymeBank’s Series D ($250M, 2024-12-17) and Etana Energy’s $100M (Series Unknown, 2024-12-04), indicating large-ticket rounds do not require a fully specified stage classification.
