Disclosed round sizes in Oklahoma City are led by one clear outlier: Gulfport Energy’s $650M round disclosed on 2024-09-03 dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts, where the next-largest figures visible here are Wheeler Bio’s $35M (2025-03-20) and LSB Industries’ $200M debt (2022-03-08). At the same time, the most recent cluster of activity is recent by round date: the newest entry is Apricot Technologies (undisclosed) on 2025-09-29, and the list spans 2021-06-17 to 2025-09-29.
Stage and visibility are also mixed. Within the 22 rows shown, “Series Unknown” appears 9 times and “undisclosed” appears 2 times (Apricot Technologies on 2025-09-29; Mercy on 2024-10-03), so disclosed comparisons largely rely on a smaller subset with dollar amounts. Sector-wise, biotechnology and AI appear repeatedly (biotechnology appears in Wheeler Bio on 2025-03-20, Moleculera Biosciences on 2024-10-30, and Sci-Lume Labs on 2023-04-12; AI appears with Apricot Technologies on 2025-09-29, Splynt on 2023-04-12, and Reel Power’s AI label is not present—by contrast it’s “Manufacturing”), while large-energy funding shows up via Gulfport Energy ($650M on 2024-09-03) alongside other healthcare-adjacent rounds such as RFX Solutions ($9M on 2024-04-16) and Sendaride ($2M on 2024-05-10).

Frequently asked
What stands out most in disclosed round sizes for Oklahoma City, and how does it compare to the next-largest figures?
Gulfport Energy’s $650M disclosed round on 2024-09-03 is the only entry here above $100M; the next-largest disclosed amount in the table is LSB Industries’ $200M debt on 2022-03-08, followed by Wheeler Bio’s $35M on 2025-03-20.
Do the round dates cluster into a specific window, or are they spread evenly across the period shown?
The 22 rows span from 2021-06-17 (First Liberty Bank, $10M) to 2025-09-29 (Apricot Technologies, undisclosed). Several rounds cluster in 2024 (e.g., Gulfport Energy on 2024-09-03, RFX Solutions on 2024-04-16, and Sendaride on 2024-05-10), but there is no single tight “all-in-one” window comparable to the earlier 2023 set (Nodecraft, Sci-Lume Labs, and Splynt all on 2023-04-12).
How much of the list lacks stage clarity, and does that limit comparisons across rounds?
Stage labeling is incomplete: “Series Unknown” appears 9 times, and “undisclosed” appears 2 times (Apricot Technologies on 2025-09-29; Mercy on 2024-10-03). That means only a subset of entries provide dollar amounts that can be compared directly by size across stages (e.g., Wheeler Bio $35M vs. Motive $6M).
Which sectors show repetition in this Oklahoma City set, and what does that imply for where investors may be concentrating?
Biotechnology appears multiple times: Wheeler Bio (2025-03-20, Series A, $35M), Moleculera Biosciences (2024-10-30, Series Unknown, $500K), and Sci-Lume Labs (2023-04-12, Pre-Seed, $100K). AI also recurs via Apricot Technologies (2025-09-29, undisclosed), Splynt (2023-04-12, Pre-Seed, $100K), and AI-adjacent labeling on the list is smaller than the biotech cluster.
Are there notable outliers beyond size, such as unusual amounts, stage types, or non-standard financings?
City Care is a size extreme in the opposite direction with $0K on 2024-07-16, and LSB Industries appears with “Post-IPO Debt” at $200M on 2022-03-08 rather than an equity series. These entries can distort any analysis that treats “round amount” as uniformly comparable across standard fundraising stages.
Which entries fall within the most recent 90 days of the newest date shown (2025-09-29), and what does the mix look like?
Using 2025-09-29 as the newest reference, the visible entries in the preceding ~90 days are Apricot Technologies (2025-09-29, undisclosed) and Wheeler Bio (2025-03-20, $35M), plus DronePort Network (2025-03-26, $4M) and Motive (2024-12-02, $6M) is just outside that 90-day window. The recent mix shows both healthcare/biotech (Wheeler Bio, Apricot Technologies) and transportation/aviation (Motive, DronePort Network).
