Disclosed deal sizes in Nairobi-area rounds show one clear scale break: Sistema.bio raised $53M on 2026-03-17, which sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts in this list (e.g., BasiGo’s $24M on 2024-10-23 and Roam’s $14M on 2024-02-14). Most other disclosed rounds cluster at materially smaller figures, with several in the $1M–$10M band (for example, CrossBoundary at $10M on 2026-06-24; MyCredit at $3M on 2026-01-15; HoneyCoin at $5M on 2025-08-12). The round dates span 2022-11-01 through 2026-06-24, and there is a dense mid-2024 window: multiple entries share 2024-02-14, indicating a specific batch of closings around that date.
On categorization, “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts are frequent: 32 of 50 rows list “Series Unknown” and 15 of 50 rounds have an undisclosed amount, so disclosed size comparisons are uneven. Sector-wise, Agriculture and Farming appears most often (6 entries), outnumbering other repeated categories, while financial services and commerce-like activity recur but with fewer entries. Geography-wise, all 50 rows are Nairobi-area records, repeatedly concentrated in Nairobi sub-areas such as Westlands (e.g., Sistema.bio on 2026-03-17; Roam on 2024-02-14 is Nairobi, Nairobi Area) and City Estate (e.g., Chumz.io on 2024-10-16).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Nairobi-area list, and how does it compare with the next-largest disclosed deals?
The largest disclosed amount is Sistema.bio’s $53M on 2026-03-17. That figure is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds in the table, such as BasiGo’s $24M on 2024-10-23 and Roam’s $14M on 2024-02-14.
Do the most recent rounds cluster into a short date window?
Yes. Several of the latest deals land in June 2026 (e.g., CrossBoundary $10M on 2026-06-24; RYDPEN and TIBU Health with undisclosed amounts on 2026-06-06 and 2026-06-02), and there’s also a concentrated 2024-10-16 set with multiple $100K rounds across different financial/commerce listings (AZA Finance, Chumz.io, Lapaire, and LipaLater).
How much of the dataset is comparable by disclosed amounts versus “undisclosed” entries?
Disclosed amounts are incomplete: 15 of 50 rows show “undisclosed” amounts, and 32 of 50 are labeled “Series Unknown.” That means size-driven comparisons rely on a subset—for example, $1M–$5M disclosed rounds include Ilara Health ($1M on 2025-01-16) and HoneyCoin ($5M on 2025-08-12), while many nearby-dated records cannot be ranked by amount.
Which sectors are most concentrated in this list?
Agriculture and Farming is the most frequent sector category with 6 entries, spanning multiple years and deals such as Sistema.bio ($53M on 2026-03-17), Farm to Feed ($230K on 2025-11-03), and Synnefa ($300K on 2025-10-28). Other sectors recur too, but none match that count in the rows shown.
Are there outliers by size that also differ by sector or stage?
Sistema.bio ($53M on 2026-03-17, Agriculture and Farming) is an outlier on disclosed size, while several other larger-disclosed deals are comparatively smaller and not in the same exact sector. For instance, the next-highest disclosed amounts shown—BasiGo ($24M on 2024-10-23, Transportation) and Roam ($14M on 2024-02-14, Consumer Electronics, Series A)—still sit well below $53M and help separate the scale of the top round from the rest.
