Across these 19 “Other” categories in Australia, one disclosed round dwarfs the rest: Atlas Arteria’s post-IPO equity on 2022-10-16 is $1.9B, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are far lower (e.g., Wollemi’s $146M on 2023-07-10 and Shaype’s $22M on 2022-09-27). The smallest disclosed amount is ClimateWorks Australia’s $40K grant on 2021-11-29, making the spread between disclosed minimum and maximum exceptionally large.
The entries cluster in both time and geography. Most rounds fall between 2021-09-14 and 2022-10-19 (with 2022-02-15 through 2022-03-16 showing multiple seed/pre-seed and early-stage rounds), and Sydney, New South Wales appears repeatedly (e.g., Hometime 2024-05-08; Wollemi 2023-07-10; Vexev 2022-11-11; Nourish Ingredients 2022-10-19; plus multiple 2022 rounds in Surry Hills). Stage labels skew heavily to clearly disclosed rounds with only one “undisclosed” amount (Platinum Asset Management, 2022-09-20). The most recent row is Hometime on 2024-05-08 ($7M), and the oldest shown is OpenMarkets Group on 2021-03-10 ($8M).

Frequently asked
Which is the largest disclosed “Other” round in this Australia list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Atlas Arteria’s post-IPO equity on 2022-10-16 is $1.9B, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds, including Wollemi at $146M (2023-07-10) and Shaype at $22M (2022-09-27). The smallest disclosed amount is ClimateWorks Australia’s $40K grant on 2021-11-29, indicating a very wide disclosed range.
How concentrated are these rounds by date window, and where do the heavier bursts appear?
Within the 19 rows shown, activity is concentrated from 2021-09-14 (Fundsquire) through 2022-10-19 (Nourish Ingredients). A notable mid-point burst occurs around early 2022, including Trace at $2M (2022-02-22), Socialsuite at $4M (2022-02-24), Carbar at $29M (2022-02-15), and TechLend at $8M (2022-03-16).
Is any city over-represented, and does it align with a stage mix pattern?
Sydney, New South Wales is the most repeated location in this set, spanning Hometime ($7M, 2024-05-08), Wollemi ($146M, 2023-07-10), Vexev ($9M, 2022-11-11), Nourish Ingredients ($29M, 2022-10-19), and multiple 2022 rounds in Surry Hills (e.g., TechLend $8M on 2022-03-16 and Trace seed $2M on 2022-02-22). In contrast, Melbourne entries (e.g., Atlas Arteria $1.9B on 2022-10-16; Socialsuite $4M on 2022-02-24; Fundsquire in Collingwood at $55M on 2021-09-14) show fewer total rows than Sydney.
What stage labels dominate, and are there meaningful gaps like “Series Unknown” or undisclosed amounts?
The list includes multiple fully specified stages, including several “Seed” and “Series A” labels (e.g., Vexev seed $9M on 2022-11-11; Wollemi Series A $146M on 2023-07-10; Nourish Ingredients Series A $29M on 2022-10-19). There are also two “Series Unknown” classifications with disclosed amounts (Hometime 2024-05-08 $7M and Carbar 2022-02-15 $29M), plus one “undisclosed” amount (Platinum Asset Management on 2022-09-20).
Are there any clear outliers besides the largest round, particularly on the low end or unusual stage/financing types?
On the low end, ClimateWorks Australia’s $40K grant (2021-11-29) is an outlier relative to the many $1M+ rounds such as Your Food Collective’s $1M equity crowdfunding on 2021-11-12 and Andi Health’s $600K pre-seed on 2022-03-11. On the high end beyond the $1.9B maximum, Fundsquire’s $55M debt financing (2021-09-14) and Platinum Asset Management’s undisclosed private equity (2022-09-20) stand out as distinct financing structures versus seed/Series rounds.
