Among the 50 most recent Ottawa-linked funding rounds shown, the only disclosed round near the top is Dominion Dynamics at $98M (Series A) on 2026-06-30; the next-largest disclosed amounts are far lower, including Quarterhill Inc. at $60M (2026-05-12) and a $15M round for Genome Canada (2026-03-18), making $98M a clear disclosed outlier. Disclosed amounts cluster in repeated “Series Unknown” classifications (32 of 50 rows) and in multiple early-stage labels (Seeds appear across several 2025 dates, e.g., Sielo Robotics at $240K on 2026-05-05 and Esphera SynBio at $370K on 2026-05-11). Temporal concentration is visible in the newest window: 11 rounds fall between 2026-05-11 and 2026-06-25, led by four separate $1M rounds around 2026-05-14 (Blumind and Ranovus at $1M, Quantropi at $1M, plus DEFSEC Technologies’ $2M on 2026-06-25). Sector-wise, Natural Resources, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Hardware each recur across multiple entries, but there’s also an out-of-geography row: TruComp Pipe is listed as “Ottawa, Kansas, United States” with $4M on 2024-05-29.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Ottawa list, and how separated is it from the rest?
Dominion Dynamics is the disclosed outlier at $98M (Series A) on 2026-06-30. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are in a much lower range, including Quarterhill Inc. at $60M (2026-05-12) and MindBridge and Solink at $60M (both on 2023-07-25), with several other disclosed rounds at $15M or below (e.g., Genome Canada $15M on 2026-03-18).
Do rounds cluster tightly in time near the most recent dates?
Yes. Between 2026-05-11 and 2026-06-25, the list shows a dense run of funding dates, including Esphera SynBio ($370K on 2026-05-11), Quarterhill Inc. ($60M on 2026-05-12), and DEFSEC Technologies ($2M on 2026-06-25), with additional June entries like Dominion Dynamics ($98M on 2026-06-30).
How much of the list is “Series Unknown” or undisclosed, and does that affect size comparisons?
Out of 50 rows, 32 are “Series Unknown” and 4 are “undisclosed,” including Wednesday Waffles (Seed, 2026-06-01) and Giatec Scientific (Series Unknown, 2025-06-04). Because many rounds don’t disclose amounts, comparisons rely on fewer disclosed rows when separating the $98M outlier from the rest (e.g., $15M Genome Canada on 2026-03-18 versus $2M DEFSEC Technologies on 2026-06-25).
Which stage labels appear most often among the disclosed rounds, based on the entries shown?
Seed shows up repeatedly among the recent entries: Sielo Robotics is $240K on 2026-05-05 (Seed), Esphera SynBio is $370K on 2026-05-11 (Seed), Spaceium is $6M on 2025-01-22 (Seed), and Mission Control Space Services is $3M on 2023-09-07 (Seed). Pre-Seed also appears multiple times (e.g., PolarGrid $1M on 2025-11-25 and Doc Clik $750K on 2023-07-01), while only a few entries carry named later stages (e.g., Solink Series C $60M on 2023-07-25; Equispheres Series B $15M on 2024-04-22).
Are there notable sector and geography outliers to account for when analyzing this “Ottawa” page?
The geography outlier is TruComp Pipe, listed as “Ottawa, Kansas, United States” with $4M on 2024-05-29, unlike the rest that are “Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.” On sectors, Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears across multiple entries (e.g., Dominion Dynamics is Government/Military but MindBridge $60M on 2023-07-25, PolarGrid $1M on 2025-11-25, and Lytica $3M on 2023-10-16), but the list also contains non-startup actors by label (e.g., Genome Canada $15M on 2026-03-18).
