Beyond that top tier, several mid-size checks cluster between $10M and $35M, including First Mutual Holding at $25M (2026-06-23) and SCATR at $13M (2026-04-22), while the smallest disclosed round is $10K (Greentown Volunteer Fire Company, 2026-06-13), creating a wide spread across disclosed amounts. On concentration patterns, Cincinnati and Columbus dominate geography within the shown window (Cincinnati appears 8 times; Columbus 9 times), and the date range runs from 2026-01-20 (Open, $7M) to 2026-07-28 (BRANDRANK.AI, $3M). The list also mixes early-stage fundraisings with many “Series Unknown” entries (5 of 10: Series Unknown appears 25 times in the 50 rows shown), with biotech and AI/technology themes repeatedly recurring across the period.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in Ohio’s most recent funding activity, and what sits just below it?

How concentrated are rounds in time, based on the youngest and oldest entries shown?
The shown rounds span from 2026-01-20 (Open, $7M) to 2026-07-28 (BRANDRANK.AI, $3M), so the most recent activity is concentrated within the first half of 2026. The top disclosed amounts also occur within that same window, including Keyfactor (2026-07-06) and PureCycle Technologies (2026-06-11).
What stage classification pattern dominates the table: identifiable series vs. “Series Unknown”?

Examples include Matic Insurance (Columbus, 2026-06-24, undisclosed) and REalloys (Euclid, 2026-06-24, $100M), alongside named series like Keyfactor’s “Private Equity” (2026-07-06, $1.0B).
