Across the 17 most recent rounds tied to Newcastle, one disclosed deal stands apart: PLUS Grid Storage raised $71M on 2026-06-16 (Australia, Energy), while every other disclosed amount shown is $24M or less (e.g., Perfuze at $24M on 2025-03-13; MGA Thermal at $12M on 2026-03-13). The list also concentrates by time and by geography: many UK-area entries are clustered around May–June 2026 (Rightbrain at $4M on 2026-05-19; GNOSIS Health at $770K on 2026-06-02), alongside several Australia-based Newcastle rounds during the same window (PLUS Grid Storage on 2026-06-16; MGA Thermal on 2026-03-13).
Stage and disclosure mix add another pattern. Seed appears repeatedly across these rows (GNOSIS Health 2026-06-02, Rightbrain 2026-05-19, CetoAI 2023-10-16), while “Series Unknown” dominates classifications (5 rows) and “undisclosed” amounts show up in two entries (CrowdedHouse Energy on 2026-05-19; Singing Pastures on 2026-04-07). Dates span 2020-06-18 (MGA Thermal, $500K) through 2026-06-16, with the newest row dated 2026-06-16.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in the Newcastle list, and how much larger is it than the rest of the disclosed deals?
PLUS Grid Storage’s $71M round on 2026-06-16 is the only disclosed amount above $50M; the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table are Perfuze at $24M (2025-03-13) and MGA Thermal at $12M (2026-03-13), making $71M a clear standout versus the rest.
Do deals cluster in a narrow recent window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They skew recent: multiple rounds fall in May–June 2026, including GNOSIS Health ($770K, 2026-06-02), PLUS Grid Storage ($71M, 2026-06-16), and Rightbrain ($4M, 2026-05-19). The overall span runs from 2020-06-18 (MGA Thermal, $500K) to 2026-06-16, but the newest entries are tightly grouped at the top of the page.
Is Newcastle split across multiple geographies (Australia vs UK vs other), and do particular sectors align with those locations?
The table repeatedly distinguishes Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia from Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. Energy shows up on both sides (PLUS Grid Storage $71M on 2026-06-16 in Australia; CrowdedHouse Energy is undisclosed on 2026-05-19 in the UK), while AI/analytics-heavy entries are concentrated in the UK Newcastle rows (e.g., Rightbrain $4M on 2026-05-19; GNOSIS Health $770K on 2026-06-02).
How much of the list is “Seed” versus other stages, and does Seed appear among the most recent rounds?
Seed is present in multiple rows, including two of the most recent UK Newcastle deals (Rightbrain at $4M on 2026-05-19 and GNOSIS Health at $770K on 2026-06-02) and CetoAI at $2M on 2023-10-16. In contrast, “Series Unknown” appears more often than any single numbered stage in the dataset (5 rows), indicating limited comparability across deal types.
How common are undisclosed amounts, and do they affect the ability to identify size outliers?
Two entries are marked “undisclosed” (CrowdedHouse Energy on 2026-05-19 and Singing Pastures on 2026-04-07). Even with those gaps, the disclosed-size outlier remains clear because PLUS Grid Storage’s $71M on 2026-06-16 is far above the next-largest disclosed figures such as $24M (Perfuze on 2025-03-13).
