Recent funded rounds tied to “Newbury” span from 2022-11-04 (Esya) to 2025-02-19 (Relish), with the newest disclosed deal landing in February 2025. The disclosed amounts show a clear size split: Relish’s $25M Series B (2025-02-19) is far above the next-largest disclosed round, Zephyr Energy’s $4M (2023-06-06), while the remaining disclosed amounts sit below that level, including Jay-Be’s $3M (2023-09-01) and Esya’s $450K (2022-11-04).
The “Newbury” entries also cluster geographically and by date. Four of the five companies are based in Newbury, West Berkshire, United Kingdom, while one company (Relish) is in Newbury, Ohio, United States. Date-wise, three West Berkshire rounds fall between 2023-06-06 and 2023-09-01 (Zephyr Energy, Jay-Be, and Fernhay Solutions on 2023-12-08), indicating a concentrated burst in 2023. On stage labeling, three of five rounds use “Series Unknown,” and one round is explicitly “undisclosed” (Fernhay Solutions, 2023-12-08).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round for this Newbury list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Relish’s $25M Series B on 2025-02-19 is the only disclosed deal above $10M and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount: Zephyr Energy at $4M (2023-06-06). The other disclosed figures are $3M for Jay-Be (2023-09-01) and $450K for Esya (2022-11-04).
Are multiple rounds clustered in a tight date window, or are they evenly spread out?
They’re moderately clustered around 2023 for the West Berkshire entries: Zephyr Energy ($4M, 2023-06-06) and Jay-Be ($3M, 2023-09-01) sit within three months of each other, with Fernhay Solutions (undisclosed, 2023-12-08) closing later that year. The earliest row is Esya on 2022-11-04, and the list then pauses before Relish’s $25M on 2025-02-19.
Which geography shows up more often in this list, and is the “largest” deal tied to the same place?
Four of five companies are located in Newbury, West Berkshire, United Kingdom (Fernhay Solutions, Jay-Be, Zephyr Energy, Esya). The largest disclosed deal is Relish’s $25M Series B, and that company is in Newbury, Ohio, United States, not West Berkshire.
What stage mix dominates, and how much of the list is not specified by stage?
Stage labels are sparse: three of five entries are “Series Unknown” (Fernhay Solutions 2023-12-08, Jay-Be 2023-09-01, Zephyr Energy 2023-06-06). One additional entry is explicitly “undisclosed” (Fernhay Solutions) and the only named stage in the dataset is Relish’s Series B (2025-02-19).
Any outlier patterns worth flagging beyond deal size?
Yes: the biggest outlier is sector paired with geography—Relish (Apps) raises $25M in Newbury, Ohio, while the rest of the disclosed amounts cluster in Newbury, West Berkshire across Energy (Zephyr Energy $4M on 2023-06-06), Commerce and Shopping (Jay-Be $3M on 2023-09-01), and Biotechnology (Esya $450K on 2022-11-04).
