Across the 37 most recent funded rounds in Pays de La Loire shown here, the largest disclosed amount is Neolithe’s $65M (2023-12-06, Science and Engineering). That round dwarfs most other disclosed checks in the list—for example, the next-largest disclosed amounts are Enerdigit at $44M (2024-07-12) and Lhyfe at $30M (2023-12-12), with several other rounds clustered far below $20M.
The data also shows two time-and-location clusters. Temporally, multiple high-dollar rounds cluster in late 2023 (e.g., Neolithe $65M on 2023-12-06; HUVY $1M on 2023-12-14; Lhyfe $30M on 2023-12-12; Velco $2M on 2023-12-19). Geographically, Nantes is repeatedly represented (e.g., Lyv 2025-02-04 $3M; Kalent 2025-05-01 $1M; Enerdigit 2024-07-12 $44M; Obat 2023-11-15 $13M), alongside other hubs like Angers (Pony 2024-09-18 $14M; SynDev 2023-09-22 $530K) and Chalonnes-sur-Loire (Neolithe). Rounds span 2020-03-16 (inVirtus Technologies, $800K) through 2025-05-15 (Dr. Jonquille & Mr. Ail, $100K).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Pays de La Loire list, and how extreme is it versus the rest?
Neolithe’s $65M on 2023-12-06 is the top disclosed amount in the 37-row view. It sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts, such as Enerdigit’s $44M (2024-07-12) and Lhyfe’s $30M (2023-12-12), indicating a clear outlier at the upper end.
Do the rounds cluster more in a narrow date window than the overall 2020–2025 range?
Yes. Late 2023 contains a dense run of funded checks, including Neolithe at $65M (2023-12-06), Lhyfe at $30M (2023-12-12), HUVY at $1M (2023-12-14), and Velco at $2M (2023-12-19). By contrast, the earliest dated entry is 2020-03-16 (inVirtus Technologies, $800K), and the most recent is 2025-05-15 (Dr. Jonquille & Mr. Ail, $100K).
Which city appears most often, and how visible is it in the newest rounds?
Nantes is a repeated base across the time series, including the newest items like Kalent (2025-05-01, $1M) and Dr. Jonquille & Mr. Ail (2025-05-15, $100K), as well as Enerdigit (2024-07-12, $44M) and Obat (2023-11-15, $13M). Angers also appears multiple times, including Pony (2024-09-18, $14M) and SynDev (2023-09-22, $530K).
Is there a stage or disclosure pattern that affects how “comparable” these rounds look?
Undisclosed amounts appear in at least three rows: BP Environmental Services (2025-01-21, undisclosed), My Pie (2024-02-06, undisclosed), and Theradial (2023-02-08, undisclosed). Separately, “Series Unknown” shows up frequently across years (e.g., Dametis 2025-02-20 $7M; Enerdigit 2024-07-12 $44M; Velco 2023-12-19 $2M), which makes stage-based comparisons noisier than size-based comparisons.
Which sectors stand out as recurring, and where do the largest rounds land by sector?
The list is sector-mixed, but with repeated presence in categories like Energy (HelioRec 2022-08-08 $60K; Valneva-related entry is Biotechnology, not Energy; Lhyfe 2023-12-12 $30M; Beem Energy 2021-10-18 $8M) and Biotechnology (AbolerIS Pharma 2023-09-19 $29M; Neolithe is Science/Engineering; Valneva 2022-04-26 $20M). The single largest disclosed round, Neolithe’s $65M (Science and Engineering, 2023-12-06), sits outside biotech, while Energy’s biggest disclosed item in this view is Lhyfe at $30M (2023-12-12).
