Across these 30 recent Nottingham-area rounds, disclosed deal sizes cluster heavily in the low-to-mid single digits, while one disclosed outlier stands out: Oakbrook Finance’s $187M venture-style round (2022-03-17) is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $20M (Cronofy on 2025-05-13; also repeated at Origin kitchen’s $20K is not comparable) and $14M (Scancell on 2023-12-01). Sector coverage is concentrated: biotechnology appears in 6 entries (Forge Genetics 2025-10-03, Phase Biolabs 2025-04-01, Oncimmune 2024-10-18, Scancell 2023-12-01, 4D Biomaterials 2021-07-28, Deep Branch Biotechnology 2021-03-16). Stage labeling is also heavily opaque: 11 of 30 rows are “Series Unknown” and 2 are “undisclosed,” leaving only 17 with stated amounts/stages.
Temporally, the newest entry is Cerca Magnetics (Series A, $5M) on 2026-04-21, and the oldest shown is EvoEnergy (2020-09-10, $300K). The dataset spans 2020-09-10 to 2026-04-21, with multiple activity peaks around October–November 2025 (e.g., Sauce Shop on 2025-10-27, Patchworks on 2025-10-13, Forge Genetics on 2025-10-03).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Nottingham list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Oakbrook Finance’s $187M (2022-03-17) is the largest disclosed amount by a wide margin; the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table are $20M (Cronofy, 2025-05-13) and $14M (Scancell, 2023-12-01), making the $187M round a clear outlier.
Do the most recent rounds cluster into a narrow window near today?
Yes: three of the top-four most recent dated rounds fall in late March to mid-April 2026—Cerca Magnetics on 2026-04-21 ($5M), then Doughnotts on 2026-03-11 (undisclosed), with the next dated entry at Sauce Shop on 2025-10-27 ($1M). More broadly, October–November 2025 shows multiple same-quarter closings (Sauce Shop 2025-10-27, Patchworks 2025-10-13, Forge Genetics 2025-10-03).
Which sectors are over-represented in these 30 rows?
Biotechnology is the standout cluster with 6 entries: Forge Genetics (2025-10-03, $3M), Phase Biolabs (2025-04-01, undisclosed), Oncimmune (2024-10-18, $3M), Scancell (2023-12-01, $14M), 4D Biomaterials (2021-07-28, $2M), and Deep Branch Biotechnology (2021-03-16, $8M). Other sectors appear fewer times (no other single sector reaches the same 3+ pattern in the visible rows).
How much of the list has undisclosed or unspecified deal size/stage labeling?
Opaque labeling is common: 11 entries are tagged “Series Unknown,” and 2 entries are “undisclosed” amounts (Doughnotts on 2026-03-11; Phase Biolabs on 2025-04-01). This means stated stage/amount information is missing for a substantial share of the 30-row view.
Are there stage patterns suggesting early-stage dominance versus later-stage signals?
The table includes multiple seed rounds (Forge Genetics $3M on 2025-10-03; Phase Biolabs seed with undisclosed amount on 2025-04-01; Scintam Engineering $400K on 2023-01-16; TextureJet $490K on 2022-12-16; BlueSkeye AI $4M on 2022-10-21; 4D Biomaterials $2M on 2021-07-28; Lazy Flora $700K on 2021-04-13) alongside later-stage labels like Venture/Secondary/Private Equity (e.g., Oakbrook Finance $187M on 2022-03-17; The INKEY List 2022-02-18 $100K). Seed is the most repeatedly named stage in the visible rows.
Which entries look like “repeated name” signals that the company showed up more than once in different rows?
Patchworks appears twice with different categories and dates: Patchworks (2025-10-13, $4M) and another Patchworks entry (2024-01-08, $2M), suggesting multiple financing events. Other repeated names/cities aren’t shown as consistently across multiple dated rows in this slice.
