Disclosed round sizes in this Northamptonshire slice cluster tightly around single-digit millions, with one clear outlier: Miracle Design & Play raised $8M on 2024-11-27, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $5M (Zinc Systems, 2022-07-18) and $4M (iFast Diagnostics, 2026-05-27; Northampton Saints, 2026-04-16). The only sub-$1M disclosed rounds are Humley at $700K (2020-10-07) and OxDrive at $210K (2023-05-11), making them comparatively small but not isolated by geography.
Temporally, the 8 entries span 2020-10-07 to 2026-05-27, with a notable concentration in 2023–2024 (four of eight rounds from 2023-05-11 through 2024-11-27). Geographically, most companies are based in Northampton, Northamptonshire (iFast Diagnostics, Northampton Saints, Equilibrion, Miracle Design & Play, Equilibrion, Zinc Systems, Humley), with Thrapston (Star Live) and Silverstone (OxDrive) appearing only once each. Stage/label availability is also skewed: 5 of 8 rows list “Series Unknown,” and 1 of 8 is undisclosed (Star Live, 2023-06-05).

Frequently asked
Which recent disclosed rounds stand out by size, and how extreme is the top deal?
Miracle Design & Play’s $8M round on 2024-11-27 is the largest disclosed amount in these 8 rows. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $5M (Zinc Systems, 2022-07-18) and $4M (iFast Diagnostics, 2026-05-27; Northampton Saints, 2026-04-16), so $8M is substantially above the rest but still within the same general multi-million-dollar band (no $20M–$100M-style gap).
Do the deals cluster in a particular time window, or are they evenly spread across years?
They’re not evenly spread: four of the eight disclosed/dated entries fall between 2023-05-11 (OxDrive) and 2024-11-27 (Miracle Design & Play). Outside that window, the earliest dated row is Humley on 2020-10-07, and the most recent is iFast Diagnostics on 2026-05-27.
Is Northampton over-represented versus other towns in this list?
Yes. 6 of the 8 rows list Northampton, Northamptonshire (iFast Diagnostics; Northampton Saints; Equilibrion; Miracle Design & Play; Zinc Systems; Humley). The remaining two are distributed across single locations within the county: Thrapston (Star Live) and Silverstone (OxDrive).
How much of the stage information is missing or labeled “Series Unknown,” and does that affect how you interpret concentration?
Stage labels are mostly not specified: 5 of 8 rows are “Series Unknown” (Northampton Saints on 2026-04-16; Equilibrion on 2025-11-19; Star Live on 2023-06-05; OxDrive on 2023-05-11; Zinc Systems on 2022-07-18). Additionally, 1 of 8 is undisclosed (Star Live, 2023-06-05), limiting size-based comparisons for that entry but not changing the overall dominance of multi-million dollars among the disclosed rows.
Are there sector patterns, or do the industries look scattered?
Industries are somewhat concentrated around “Administrative Services,” which appears in 3 of 8 rows: Miracle Design & Play (2024-11-27, $8M), Zinc Systems (2022-07-18, $5M), and Humley (2020-10-07, $700K). Other categories are singletons in this view: Health Care (iFast Diagnostics), Gaming (Northampton Saints), Information Technology (Equilibrion), Events (Star Live), and Agriculture and Farming (OxDrive).
Which entries look like size outliers on the low end, and do they correspond to a specific geography or sector?
On the low end, OxDrive’s $210K (2023-05-11, Silverstone) and Humley’s $700K (2020-10-07, Northampton) are the smallest disclosed amounts in these rows. Both are far below the multi-million figures (e.g., $8M on 2024-11-27; $5M on 2022-07-18; $4M on 2026-04-16 and 2026-05-27), and they do not map to a single geography or sector, with one located outside Northampton (Silverstone) and the other in Northampton within Administrative Services.
