Among the 44 most recent funded startups listed for Pasadena, the largest disclosed round is SoCal Self Storage at $64M (2026-04-13). That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts, with the next-largest disclosed rounds including Meridian Rapid Defense Group at $35M (2026-05-14) and tvScientific at $26M (2025-02-03). Disclosed amounts also show a long tail toward small checks: the smallest disclosed amount is $10K for Rose Bowl Aquatics Center (2026-05-28).
The rounds cluster in a tight recent window: 2026 entries run from 2026-04-13 (SoCal Self Storage) through the most recent 2026-06-23 (Sophia Space, $7M), while multiple “Series Unknown” classifications recur across that span (including Meridian Rapid Defense Group on 2026-05-14 at $35M and Beamlink on 2025-07-14 at $190K). Sector-wise, “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” appears repeatedly (Triangle Health 2026-03-24, AuraChat.Ai 2025-08-14, Virtualitics 2023-07-14, plus Miso Robotics and 3Laws Robotics), suggesting thematic concentration alongside frequent undisclosed/unknown disclosures (10 “undisclosed” and 12 “Series Unknown”).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Pasadena list, and how does it stand out versus the rest?
SoCal Self Storage’s $64M round (2026-04-13) is the clear outlier: no other disclosed amount in the rows approaches it, with the next-largest disclosed rounds including Meridian Rapid Defense Group at $35M (2026-05-14) and tvScientific at $26M (2025-02-03). The smallest disclosed amount is $10K for Rose Bowl Aquatics Center (2026-05-28), highlighting the wide spread between top and bottom checks.
Do the most recent rounds cluster tightly in time, or are they spread out evenly?
They cluster toward the top of the list: the most recent round shown is Sophia Space on 2026-06-23 ($7M), and several entries fall within a narrow 2026 window, including SoCal Self Storage (2026-04-13, $64M) and Meridian Rapid Defense Group (2026-05-14, $35M). Overall, the span of rows runs from 2021-05-14 (Tap Systems, $200K) through 2026-06-23.
How often do disclosures stay unspecified, and does that pattern affect interpreting deal-size comparisons?
Yes. “undisclosed” appears 10 times (for example, Scratchpay on 2026-05-13 and Impossible Metals on 2026-04-14), while “Series Unknown” appears 12 times (including Meridian Rapid Defense Group on 2026-05-14 at $35M and Beamlink on 2025-07-14 at $190K). Because these rows lack either amount or stage clarity, size and stage-based conclusions are strongest only when focused on disclosed amounts and named stages.
Is any sector meaningfully over-represented compared with other themes?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows up repeatedly across years and stages: Triangle Health (2026-03-24, Pre-Seed, $4M), AuraChat.Ai (2025-08-14, Seed, undisclosed), Virtualitics (2023-07-14, Series Unknown, $37M), Miso Robotics (2023-09-18, Series Unknown, $550K), and 3Laws Robotics (2024-10-03, Seed, $4M). Other sectors appear, but this AI concentration is noticeably more frequent in the rows shown.
Which entries look like deal-size outliers on the low end, not just the high end?
On the low end, Rose Bowl Aquatics Center’s $10K (2026-05-28) is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows. Several other disclosed amounts remain comparatively modest—for example, A Noise Within at $30K (2023-09-05) and Flowly at $100K (2022-03-24)—which contrasts sharply with the high-$10M to $60M cluster around SoCal Self Storage ($64M), Meridian Rapid Defense Group ($35M), and tvScientific ($26M).
