Disclosed funding in Nagoya spans from $200K (NAGARA, 2026-05-25) to $10M, with the top two disclosed rounds both at $10M (Sazo on 2026-07-22 and Kimitona on 2025-11-27). That creates a clear size gap: only one step down from $10M reaches $6M (Acompany, 2026-04-14), and the remainder of disclosed amounts cluster at $3M and $200K.
The visible rounds also cluster tightly in time: dates run from 2025-11-16 (Opt Fit) to 2026-07-22 (Sazo), and all entries shown are in Nagoya (9/9), with multiple “Series Unknown” classifications. Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence appears repeatedly across the list (Sazo, Kimitona, and Opt Fit), while the dominant disclosure pattern is that 4 of 9 entries are undisclosed (AZAPA on 2026-06-29; Aracan on 2026-06-11; Sora Materials on 2026-06-08; Prodrone on 2026-04-21).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Nagoya set, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Sazo’s $10M round on 2026-07-22 ties with Kimitona’s $10M on 2025-11-27 as the largest disclosed amount. The next disclosed level drops to $6M (Acompany on 2026-04-14), followed by $3M (Opt Fit on 2025-11-16) and the smallest disclosed amount at $200K (NAGARA on 2026-05-25).
Are there timing clusters among the most recent Nagoya rounds?
Yes. The shown rounds run from 2025-11-16 through 2026-07-22, and several disclosed or dated entries fall in mid-2026 (e.g., Sazo on 2026-07-22; Aracan on 2026-06-11; Sora Materials on 2026-06-08; NAGARA on 2026-05-25).
How much of the list lacks disclosed funding, and does that affect which rounds analysts can benchmark by size?
4 of 9 entries are undisclosed, including AZAPA (2026-06-29), Aracan (2026-06-11), Sora Materials (2026-06-08), and Prodrone (2026-04-21). That leaves 5 disclosed rounds to compare for funding-size benchmarking, ranging from $200K to $10M.
Is Nagoya consistently represented, or do any entries appear to be in different cities under the same label?
All 9 entries shown list Nagoya (9/9), with one explicitly described as “Nagoya, Japan” (Kimitona on 2025-11-27; Opt Fit on 2025-11-16) and the rest listed as “Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.” No alternate cities appear in the displayed rows.
Which stages and sectors are most visible across this set (based only on the entries shown)?
Stage labels are split, but “Series Unknown” is prominent: 4 of 9 entries are tagged Series Unknown (AZAPA 2026-06-29; Aracan 2026-06-11; Sora Materials 2026-06-08; Prodrone 2026-04-21).
