Across the 50 most recent funded startups listed for Philadelphia-area companies, the size distribution is highly top-heavy: the largest disclosed round is Alterra IOS’s $244M on 2026-06-05, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts such as Cabaletta Bio’s $150M (2026-05-04) and Brandywine Realty Trust’s $150M (2025-06-17). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is The Philly Goat Project’s $20K (2025-11-03), with several other $20K rounds also appearing (e.g., Kommunity $20K on 2025-05-20 and The Food Trust $20K on 2025-04-14).
Date-wise, activity clusters around late May to June 2026, where multiple disclosed rounds land from 2026-05-03 (Datavault AI, $60M) through 2026-06-25 (Lancaster Avenue 21st Century Business Association, undisclosed). Sector- and stage-mix also lean toward uncertainty: 17 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown,” and 4 are “undisclosed” on amount; beyond that, “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” shows up in multiple entries across different stages (e.g., Modus $85M Series A on 2026-04-07, Ethermed $9M Series A on 2026-04-16, ClearCOGS $4M Seed on 2025-04-10). Geographically, most rows are labeled Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a smaller number referencing Philadelphia, New York (Ethermed) or just Philadelphia (several venture/tech entries). The rounds span 2025-04-10 through 2026-06-25, using the newest row date and the oldest row date visible on the page.

Frequently asked
What stands out in deal size among the disclosed rounds in this Philadelphia list?
Alterra IOS’s disclosed $244M (2026-06-05) is an outlier relative to the rest; the next-largest disclosed amounts include Cabaletta Bio’s $150M (2026-05-04) and Brandywine Realty Trust’s $150M (2025-06-17). On the other end, the smallest disclosed amount is $20K (The Philly Goat Project on 2025-11-03), echoed by other $20K entries such as Kommunity ($20K on 2025-05-20) and The Food Trust ($20K on 2025-04-14).
How concentrated are the rounds in time compared with the full date span shown?
Most recent entries cluster tightly in late May through June 2026, including Agni Semiconductor ($5M on 2026-06-15) and Alterra IOS ($244M on 2026-06-05) as well as Cabaletta Bio ($150M on 2026-05-04) and Datavault AI ($60M on 2026-05-03). The broader span visible runs from 2025-04-10 (ClearCOGS, $4M) to 2026-06-25 (Lancaster Avenue 21st Century Business Association, undisclosed), but the highest density of named dollar rounds sits near the newest third of dates.
Which uncertainties dominate the dataset: missing stage labels or missing amounts?
Stage labels are incomplete in the majority of rows: 17 of 50 entries are marked “Series Unknown” (e.g., Alterra IOS on 2026-06-05; Verismo Therapeutics on 2026-04-15). Amount visibility is also imperfect: 4 of 50 rows show “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Lancaster Avenue 21st Century Business Association on 2026-06-25; MGBSP Services on 2026-05-28; Sproutr on 2025-05-15; Susmax on 2025-05-06).
Are any sectors over-represented, particularly around AI?
AI appears frequently across different stages rather than being tied to a single round type: Modus (Series A, $85M on 2026-04-07), Ethermed (Series A, $9M on 2026-04-16), Rovi Health (Pre-Seed, $500K on 2025-12-03), and ClearCOGS (Seed, $4M on 2025-04-10) all appear with AI in the sector field. Beyond AI, Biotechnology and Health Care also recur, but AI is the one that shows up with multiple large-to-small disclosed amounts across the timeline.
Which Philadelphia geography labeling patterns show up, and do they create inconsistencies?
The dominant label is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States across the list (e.g., Alterra IOS on 2026-06-05; FORT Robotics on 2025-08-06). One notable inconsistency is Ethermed listed as “Philadelphia, New York” despite “Philadelphia” in the city field (2026-04-16, $9M Series A), while several other rows list “Philadelphia” without the state detail (e.g., Gopuff on 2025-11-16, $250M).
Are there notable stage clusters among disclosed rounds?
Seed and Series Unknown both recur, but disclosed “Series A” rounds are especially concentrated among higher dollar values: Modus’s $85M (2026-04-07), Ethermed’s $9M (2026-04-16), Arya Health’s $18M (2025-11-01), and Lula Commerce’s $8M (2025-11-01). Meanwhile, some of the smallest disclosed entries appear at very early stages such as ClearCOGS ($4M Seed on 2025-04-10) and multiple $20K rounds tied to “Series Unknown” classifications (e.g., Kommunity on 2025-05-20).
