Disclosed round sizes in Oceania skew heavily toward a few large financings: IREN’s $550M round (2025-06-11) is the standout outlier, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts (e.g., Halter at $99M on 2025-06-23, Saluda Medical at $30M on 2025-11-15, and multiple $65M–$58M rounds such as Heidi Health on 2025-10-10 at $65M and Morse Micro on 2025-09-27 at $58M). The distribution also shows a broad sector and stage mix: AI appears repeatedly (Heidi Health $65M on 2025-10-10; Lorikeet $35M on 2025-08-06; Hall $2M on 2025-07-28; Chronicle Studios $12M on 2025-06-24; NexusMD.ai $4M on 2025-06-24; Voqo AI $530K on 2025-07-13), while “Series Unknown” is common (25 of 50 rows), and there is one “undisclosed” amount (Pictor on 2025-09-25). Geographically, Australia dominates in the most frequent city listed (Sydney, with multiple entries such as Saluda Medical on 2025-11-15, Octopus Deploy on 2025-10-10, and Butn on 2025-07-02), though New Zealand also appears regularly (e.g., Dispute Buddy on 2025-11-22 at $770K; Factor on 2025-07-18 at $3M; Halter on 2025-06-23 at $99M). Temporally, the 50 rounds span from 2025-06-10 (Botanix Pharmaceuticals) to 2025-11-22 (Dispute Buddy), with the most recent entry at 2025-11-22.
