Across the 29 most recent funded startups in Nord-Pas-De-Calais, the largest disclosed round is Exotec at $337M (Series D) on 2022-01-17, a scale that dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts; the next-largest disclosed figures cluster far lower (for example, The Future Is NEUTRAL at $140M in 2024-10-03 and Positive Group at $110M in 2022-11-08). The list is also time-clustered around mid-2024 to mid-2025, with multiple rounds between 2024-05-16 (Energo, $18M) and 2025-07-08 (VizioSense, $3M), and a clear city concentration in Lille (e.g., VizioSense on 2025-07-08, Gravitee on 2025-05-20, and Selvitys on 2023-12-20). Sector-wise, Agriculture and Farming plus Biotechnology appear repeatedly (3+ each), while “Series Unknown” is common (6 of 29 rows) and at least one amount is explicitly undisclosed (Nijta, 2024-02-15).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier, and how far above the surrounding rounds is it?
Exotec’s $337M (Series D) on 2022-01-17 is the only disclosed amount above $300M in the shown rows. The next-largest disclosed amounts are materially lower, including The Future Is NEUTRAL at $140M (2024-10-03) and Positive Group at $110M (2022-11-08).
Do rounds cluster in a narrow time window within Nord-Pas-De-Calais?
Yes: after the older edge at 2020-07-17 (Axorus, $400K), several entries concentrate in 2024–2025, including Energo ($18M) on 2024-05-16, The Future Is NEUTRAL ($140M) on 2024-10-03, and VizioSense ($3M) on 2025-07-08. The heaviest run of “large-ish” disclosed rounds appears in 2025, with GENFIT ($30M, 2025-05-20) and Gravitee ($60M, 2025-05-20) in the same date.
Are any cities or locations over-represented among these funded companies?
Lille is the dominant city across multiple categories and stages, appearing in entries like VizioSense (2025-07-08, $3M), Gravitee (2025-05-20, $60M), Nutriearth (2024-07-01, $9M), and Selvitys (2023-12-20, $700K). Other cities show up but less consistently (e.g., Loos appears multiple times: GENFIT 2025-05-20 $30M and Energo 2024-05-16 $18M).
What stage mix stands out, and how often is the stage not specified?
“Series Unknown” accounts for 6 of the 29 rows, including VizioSense (2025-07-08, $3M) and Alteva (2025-01-20, $2M). There is also one explicitly undisclosed amount: Nijta on 2024-02-15 with a non-numeric amount marked “undisclosed,” which is separate from the “Series Unknown” label.
Which sectors appear frequently enough to form a pattern in this list?
Agriculture and Farming and Biotechnology each recur in 3+ entries: Agriculture and Farming includes Beyond Green ($2M, 2025-03-10), Nutriearth ($9M, 2024-07-01), and Carbon Maps ($3M, 2023-12-05). Biotechnology includes GENFIT ($30M, 2025-05-20), 4Moving Biotech ($8M, 2025-04-08), and Stane ($11M, 2023-09-19).
Which entries sit at the low end of disclosed amounts, and are they concentrated in a specific stage?
Among disclosed amounts, natif. is a clear low-end datapoint at $110K (Seed) on 2023-05-30, while Longevity Hub is even smaller at $10K on 2023-02-13. These very small rounds appear alongside mixed stages (Seed for natif., “Series Unknown” for Longevity Hub), suggesting the lower tail is not confined to a single named stage.
