The largest disclosed round in this Oulu set is ŌURA’s $75M on 2024-11-19, which materially dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts (Haltian at $24M on 2023-04-24, Optomed at $7M on 2025-12-10, and TactoTek at $5M on 2025-01-09). In stage naming, the list is dominated by missing classifications: 5 of 13 entries are marked “Series Unknown” and 2 of 13 are “undisclosed,” leaving only a smaller subset with explicit stages (e.g., ŌURA “Series D,” Remod “Angel,” and multiple Seed rounds).
Geographically, most companies list Oulu, Finland, with an additional concentration on “Oulu, Oulu, Finland” for Smilee.ai (2026-05-28, undisclosed), while the remaining named city field is consistently Oulu. Temporally, the span runs from 2020-08-27 (Monidor Oy) to 2026-05-28 (Smilee.ai), and multiple rounds cluster in 2024: ŌURA (2024-11-19, $75M), Profilence (2024-06-14, undisclosed), and Haltian (2023-04-24, $24M) anchor the mid-range while several Seed/early-stage financings appear from 2021–2022 (e.g., SensorFu on 2021-11-11 for $700K; Finnadvance on 2022-04-08 for $1M).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in the Oulu list, and how far above the rest is it?
ŌURA’s $75M on 2024-11-19 is the only disclosed amount above $50M and it sits well above the next-largest disclosed figures: Haltian at $24M (2023-04-24), Optomed at $7M (2025-12-10), and TactoTek at $5M (2025-01-09).
Do many of the entries concentrate in a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread?
They’re not tightly concentrated: the disclosed entries run from 2020-08-27 (Monidor Oy, $1M; stage blank) through 2026-05-28 (Smilee.ai, undisclosed). Still, 2024 is active with ŌURA at $75M (2024-11-19) and Profilence listed on 2024-06-14 (undisclosed), while 2021–2022 bring several early rounds such as SensorFu ($700K on 2021-11-11) and Finnadvance ($1M on 2022-04-08).
How dominant is stage ambiguity in this Oulu snapshot?
Stage labeling is frequently missing: 5 of 13 entries are “Series Unknown” (e.g., Smilee.ai on 2026-05-28; Optomed on 2025-12-10; TactoTek on 2025-01-09), and 2 of 13 are “undisclosed” amounts (Smilee.ai doesn’t disclose, and Profilence is undisclosed on 2024-06-14). Only 6 of 13 show explicit stages (e.g., ŌURA “Series D,” Remod “Angel,” and multiple “Seed” rows).
Which stage pattern repeats, and how does it compare to explicitly named later stages?
Seed appears multiple times: CooliBlade ($850K on 2022-11-17), Finnadvance ($1M on 2022-04-08), and SensorFu ($700K on 2021-11-11) are all tagged “Seed.” By contrast, the only clearly later-stage label in this slice is ŌURA’s “Series D” at $75M (2024-11-19).
Are there any outliers that a sales or diligence check should prioritize?
Yes. ŌURA’s $75M (2024-11-19) is a strong funding outlier versus the rest of the disclosed range (e.g., $24M for Haltian on 2023-04-24; $7M for Optomed on 2025-12-10). Separately, Smilee.ai (2026-05-28) and Profilence (2024-06-14) are amount-undisclosed, so the comparable “size” signal is missing even though both are among the more recent dated entries.
