Among the 37 Pasadena-based entries shown, disclosed round sizes cluster tightly below the $50M mark, with tvScientific’s $26M (2025-02-03) acting as the largest disclosed amount in this slice; the next-largest disclosed rounds include ExchangeRight at $75M (2024-06-11), Scratchpay at $35M (2022-09-20), and Rockley Photonics at $35M (2023-06-06). The disclosed ceiling is therefore set by ExchangeRight’s $75M, which dwarfs most other disclosed rounds such as Beamlink’s $190K (2025-07-14) and Rose Bowl Aquatics Center’s $80K (2023-07-23).
Two temporal clusters stand out: multiple rounds land in October 2024 (e.g., Tele911 $7M on 2024-10-08; 3Laws Robotics $4M on 2024-10-03; the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program “undisclosed” on 2024-10-02), while another concentration appears mid-2023 around July 2023 (Rose Bowl Aquatics Center $80K on 2023-07-23; Virtualitics $37M on 2023-07-14; plus A Noise Within $30K on 2023-09-05 shortly after). Outliers are sector- and deal-type related: the largest disclosed round is financial-services ExchangeRight ($75M, 2024-06-11), while multiple entries list undisclosed amounts (including Pinc Technologies, AuraChat.Ai, and Strategic Venue Partners), and stage labels often appear as blank or “Series Unknown.”

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round size is the standout in this Pasadena set, and how far above the rest is it?
ExchangeRight’s $75M round (2024-06-11) is the largest disclosed amount in the 37 rows shown. It sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts in this slice, such as tvScientific’s $26M (2025-02-03) and several $35M rounds including Scratchpay ($35M, 2022-09-20) and Rockley Photonics ($35M, 2023-06-06).
Do the rounds cluster in specific time windows within the 2021–2025 range?
Yes. October 2024 has a mini-cluster: Tele911 closed $7M on 2024-10-08, 3Laws Robotics closed $4M on 2024-10-03, and both The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program and GuRu are dated 2024-10-02 (both “undisclosed”). A second visible cluster is mid-2023, where multiple entries concentrate around July–September 2023, including Rose Bowl Aquatics Center $80K (2023-07-23) and Virtualitics $37M (2023-07-14).
Are any sectors over-represented compared with the rest, based on repeated appearances?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears repeatedly across the list, including AuraChat.Ai (Seed, 2025-08-14), 3Laws Robotics (Seed, 2024-10-03), BINARLY (AI, 2024-03-26), Miso Robotics (2023-09-18), and Virtualitics (2023-07-14). Energy and Financial Services also recur multiple times, but AI is the clearest repeated sector.
What does the stage mix suggest—are most deals clearly labeled, or is classification inconsistent?
Stage labeling is inconsistent. Several rows have “Series Unknown” or a blank stage field, and multiple amounts are “undisclosed” (for example, Pinc Technologies on 2025-09-29 and AuraChat.Ai on 2025-08-14 are both undisclosed). Where amounts are disclosed, stages range from Seed (e.g., Tele911 $7M, 2024-10-08) through Series B (tvScientific $26M, 2025-02-03) and Series C (Scratchpay $35M, 2022-09-20).
Are there notable outliers in either deal size or structure that a diligence call should focus on?
The largest disclosed deal is financial-services ExchangeRight ($75M, 2024-06-11), while the smallest disclosed amount in this slice is Rose Bowl Aquatics Center’s $80K (2023-07-23). Deal structure also shows variety: Heliogen’s $39M is listed as a Grant (2021-12-21), and Brazil Minerals is Debt Financing at $740K (2022-07-08), which differs from the equity-style naming used by many other rounds.
