Across these 16 Needham-based entries (2020-09-16 through 2025-11-09), the largest disclosed round is Soefia Education’s $210K Seed on 2025-11-09, which sits far below the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Candel Therapeutics at $15M on 2025-06-24, Silk at $30M on 2025-01-21, and Nobl9 at $21M on 2021-02-10). The most obvious concentration is temporal: five of the 16 rows have round dates in 2023 (2023-10-19 through 2023-12-20), and another four cluster between 2025-01-21 and 2025-06-24. Sector-wise, Biotechnology and Health Care repeat most often (each appears in multiple entries), while Education and Data and Analytics also recur. Stage classifications are mixed: five rows show “Series Unknown” and one row has “undisclosed” (Remedium Bio on 2024-09-10).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed rounds look like outliers relative to the rest of the list?
Soefia Education’s $210K Seed (2025-11-09) is the smallest disclosed amount on the page and is well below other disclosed rounds such as Candel Therapeutics’ $15M (2025-06-24) and Silk’s $30M (2025-01-21). At the other end, Candel Therapeutics ($15M on 2025-06-24), Silk ($30M on 2025-01-21), and Nobl9 ($21M on 2021-02-10) form the higher disclosed band, compared with single-digit amounts like XRHealth’s $6M (2024-01-09).
Do any sectors or stage labels dominate this Needham mix?
Biotechnology and Health Care recur across the 16 rows (e.g., Candel Therapeutics 2025-06-24; Remedium Bio 2024-09-10; knownwell 2023-12-20; ClinOne 2023-11-01), while Education appears multiple times as well (Soefia Education 2025-11-09; MentorWorks Education Capital 2020-09-16). Stage-wise, “Series Unknown” appears in five entries (e.g., Newton Research 2025-05-15 at $8M and XRHealth 2024-01-09 at $6M), while “undisclosed” appears once (Remedium Bio on 2024-09-10).
How concentrated are the deals in time within the most recent period shown?
In the 2025 window, four of the 16 entries fall between 2025-01-21 and 2025-06-24: Silk ($30M, 2025-01-21), XRHealth ($6M, 2025-05-15 is actually Newton Research at $8M on 2025-05-15), Newton Research ($8M, 2025-05-15), and Candel Therapeutics ($15M, 2025-06-24). The 2023 dates also concentrate, with multiple rounds from 2023-04-24 through 2023-12-20 (e.g., Convergent Dental $20M on 2023-04-24; ClinOne $2M on 2023-11-01).
What does the list suggest about Needham’s geography handling in this dataset?
All 16 rows are labeled “Needham, Massachusetts, United States,” except Soefia Education, which is shown as “Needham, United States” on 2025-11-09; no other city or state appears in the provided rows. That indicates the geographic pattern here is a single-city concentration rather than multiple Needham variants (within the data shown).
Which dates define the temporal edges of this set?
The newest round date in the rows shown is 2025-11-09 (Soefia Education, $210K), while the oldest is 2020-09-16 (MentorWorks Education Capital, $1M). The disclosed rounds therefore span roughly five years, with several entries clustering in 2023 and additional concentration again in early-to-mid 2025 (e.g., Silk 2025-01-21 at $30M and Candel Therapeutics 2025-06-24 at $15M).
