Disclosed round sizes in Nottingham are heavily right-skewed: Oakbrook Finance’s $187M (2022-03-17) dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts of $20M (Cronofy on 2025-05-13; and Scancell on 2023-12-01 is $14M, Cheesecake Energy is $12M), while the smallest disclosed amount is $100K for The INKEY List (2022-02-18). The listing spans 2020-09-10 (EvoEnergy, $300K) through 2025-10-13 (Patchworks, $4M), and the most recent six entries are clustered in late 2024 through 2025, led by Patchworks (2025-10-13) and Forge Genetics (2025-10-03).
Stage and disclosure patterns also stand out. “Series Unknown” appears in 9 of the 27 rows, and “undisclosed” appears in 2 rows (Phase Biolabs on 2025-04-01 and ONYX InSight on 2023-04-27). Sector-wise, Biotechnology is the most common theme across these 27 entries (8 rows), with multiple sizable rounds such as Cronofy’s $20M (2025-05-13) and Scancell’s $14M (2023-12-01) sitting alongside smaller disclosed Seed rounds like Forge Genetics’ $3M (2025-10-03).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in Nottingham here, and how extreme is it versus the rest of the table?
Oakbrook Finance’s disclosed $187M on 2022-03-17 is an outlier: the next-highest disclosed figures top out at $25M (Lockwood Publishing on 2020-11-04), with other large rounds like Cronofy’s $20M (2025-05-13) and Agrovista’s $10M (2025-05-02) far below.
Which sectors are over-represented, and do they also include the biggest disclosed rounds?
Biotechnology appears 8 times across the 27 rows, and it includes multiple high disclosed rounds such as Scancell’s $14M (2023-12-01) and deep biotech rounds like Deep Branch Biotechnology’s $8M (2021-03-16). Energy shows up 2 times (Cheesecake Energy $12M on 2023-04-12; EvoEnergy $300K on 2020-09-10), while AI appears 2 times (Connected Data $3M on 2024-10-02; BlueSkeye AI $4M on 2022-10-21).
Are most of the recent closings concentrated in a short window, based on round dates?
Yes: the most recent half-dozen entries are all in late 2024 through 2025. Examples include Patchworks $4M on 2025-10-13, Forge Genetics $3M on 2025-10-03, and Oncimmune $3M on 2024-10-18, with earlier entries stepping back to 2023-04-27 (ONYX InSight, undisclosed).
What disclosure and stage labeling pattern dominates, and does it affect how you interpret “largest” comparisons?
“Series Unknown” is present in 9 of 27 rows, while “undisclosed” appears in 2 rows (Phase Biolabs on 2025-04-01 and ONYX InSight on 2023-04-27). Because the largest disclosed amount is clearly identified as $187M for Oakbrook Finance (2022-03-17), comparisons based on disclosed totals are less ambiguous than they would be if the top bins were “undisclosed.”
Which entries look like notable outliers on the low end, and what’s their stage/context?
The smallest disclosed round is The INKEY List at $100K (2022-02-18, Private Equity), which is well below several other sub-$1M disclosed rounds like Scintam Engineering’s $400K (2023-01-16, Seed). On the higher side of the same period, Oakbrook Finance’s $187M (2022-03-17) signals a wide spread around that 2022 window.
