Among the 50 most recent Pennsylvania rounds shown, the only disclosed round far above the rest is Abridge’s Series E on 2025-06-24 at $300M. The next-highest disclosed rounds stay well below that level, including Alterra IOS at $344M (actually higher than $300M) and Brandywine Realty Trust at $150M, while most other disclosed rounds cluster in the low tens of millions (for example, BlastPoint at $14M on 2025-10-07 and FORT Robotics at $19M on 2025-08-06). Disclosed amounts also show a pronounced lower tail: the smallest disclosed amount is Elizabeth Seton Center at $10K on 2025-04-04.
Rounds span 2025-03-19 (Proscia) through 2025-11-23 (PECA Labs). The list also concentrates both temporally and by geography: many entries fall between June and August 2025 (for example, 10+ rounds dated 2025-06-11 to 2025-08-28), and Pennsylvania city patterns recur, with Pittsburgh appearing repeatedly (PECA Labs 2025-11-23; Peptilogics 2025-10-16; BlastPoint 2025-10-07; ArriVent Biopharma is “Pennsylvania Furnace,” while Abridge 2025-06-24 is in Pittsburgh; Skild AI 2025-06-13; Gecko Robotics 2025-06-12; Lovelace 2025-05-06; Simcoach Games 2025-05-06). Sector coverage is heavy in Biotechnology and AI, and the classification is frequently not specified: “undisclosed” amounts appear alongside multiple sectors (for example, AKUVO 2025-09-21; Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation 2025-08-12; and PowerPay 2025-04-14).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Pennsylvania list, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
Alterra IOS closed on 2025-07-16 with the largest disclosed amount at $344M, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Abridge’s $300M (2025-06-24) and Brandywine Realty Trust’s $150M (2025-06-17). Most other disclosed rounds sit far below these levels, such as BlastPoint at $14M (2025-10-07) and Seneca Therapeutics at $4M (2025-08-28).
Are there notable outliers at the low end among disclosed rounds?
Yes. Elizabeth Seton Center’s $10K on 2025-04-04 is the smallest disclosed amount shown, sitting well below other low-disclosed entries like The Food Trust at $20K (2025-04-14) and Kommunity at $20K (2025-05-20). Several other companies are also “undisclosed,” including AKUVO (2025-09-21) and Painterland Sisters (2025-08-25), which affects how cleanly the low tail can be measured.
How concentrated are these rounds in time, based on the dates shown?
The displayed window runs from 2025-03-19 (Proscia) to 2025-11-23 (PECA Labs), but the list is especially dense in mid-2025. Examples include multiple entries in late June 2025 (e.g., Abridge 2025-06-24, Skild AI 2025-06-13, and Gecko Robotics 2025-06-12) and a continuing cluster through August 2025 (e.g., Seneca Therapeutics 2025-08-28 and Ocugen 2025-08-08).
Do any cities recur often enough to suggest a geographic cluster?
Pittsburgh is a clear repeat city across very different sectors and rounds, including PECA Labs (2025-11-23), Peptilogics (2025-10-16), BlastPoint (2025-10-07), Abridge (2025-06-24), Skild AI (2025-06-13), Gecko Robotics (2025-06-12), and Simcoach Games (2025-05-06). Philadelphia also recurs with multiple rounds across categories such as AI (ClearCOGS 2025-04-10) and Health Care (Bainbridge Health 2025-05-08).
What does the stage and sector mix look like, and where does it most clearly diverge?
Stage labels are frequently specified for larger rounds (for example, Peptilogics Series B at $78M on 2025-10-16, FORT Robotics Series B at $19M on 2025-08-06, and Proscia Series D at $50M on 2025-03-19), but the list also includes many “Series Unknown” rows (e.g., Alterra IOS on 2025-07-16 at $344M and Belong Health on 2025-07-11 at $57M). Sector-wise, Biotechnology and AI show repeated entries (Peptilogics 2025-10-16 at $78M; ArriVent Biopharma 2025-07-01 at $75M; Abridge 2025-06-24 at $300M; Skild AI 2025-06-13 at $135M), while the smallest disclosed amounts often come from non-biotech categories such as Elizabeth Seton Center (Health Care) at $10K (2025-04-04) and The Food Trust (Food and Beverage) at $20K (2025-04-14).
