Across the 30 post-IPO equity rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is ITM Power’s $342M on 2021-10-14, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed rounds (the next-largest disclosed entries are Kape Technologies at $217M on 2022-09-15 and Whitbread at $189M on 2022-10-04). Disclosed amounts also show a wide spread: PurpleBricks’ $210K on 2022-08-24 sits far below the $1M–$30M band that appears repeatedly.
Clusters are visible in both time and geography. Nearly all entries are in England and are heavily London-based: London appears for ASOS (2022-10-23), Argo Blockchain (2022-10-07), Bidstack (2022-10-05), Kape Technologies (2022-09-15), Silverbullet (2022-06-01), Reconnaissance Energy Africa (2022-02-08), and Devolver Digital (2021-11-04). Temporally, the list is concentrated in late 2022 (2022-01-10 to 2022-10-23), with the oldest shown dated 2021-10-13 (Bicycle Therapeutics at $175M) and the most recent entry ASOS on 2022-10-23. Sector-wise, biotechnology is the densest cluster with 7 of 30 entries (Akari Therapeutics, ANGLE, TC BioPharm, Freeline, Omega Diagnostics, Silence Therapeutics, Bicycle Therapeutics). Undisclosed amounts occur in 6 of 30 rows (ASOS, N Brown Group, Argo Blockchain, First Property Group, Devolver Digital, and Whitbread is disclosed).

Frequently asked
What are the biggest disclosed post-IPO equity rounds here, and how skewed are they versus the rest?
ITM Power’s $342M (2021-10-14) is the largest disclosed amount and sits well above the next-largest disclosed rounds: Kape Technologies at $217M (2022-09-15) and Whitbread at $189M (2022-10-04). At the low end, PurpleBricks is disclosed at $210K (2022-08-24), far below the many mid-single-digit to tens-of-millions amounts.
Are there concentrated date windows among the 30 most recent rounds shown?
Yes. The rounds cluster heavily through late 2022, running from 2022-10-23 (ASOS) back to 2022-01-10 (Exscientia), while only a smaller share appears in late 2021 (e.g., Bicycle Therapeutics on 2021-10-13 at $175M and ITM Power on 2021-10-14 at $342M). This makes the late-2022 window the densest temporal band in the displayed set.
Which cities dominate, and is London an over-represented hub in this list?
London is repeatedly represented for multiple companies across the time window: ASOS (2022-10-23, undisclosed), Argo Blockchain (2022-10-07, undisclosed), Bidstack (2022-10-05, $11M), Kape Technologies (2022-09-15, $217M), Silverbullet (2022-06-01, $3M), Reconnaissance Energy Africa (2022-02-08, $30M), and Devolver Digital (2021-11-04, undisclosed). Several non-London cities appear (e.g., Manchester, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol), but the concentration around London is clear from the row-level locations.
Does any sector meaningfully over-represent itself in this post-IPO equity set?
Biotechnology is the clear sector cluster at 7 of 30 entries: Akari Therapeutics ($13M, 2022-09-12), ANGLE ($24M, 2022-07-15), TC BioPharm ($4M, 2022-06-02), Freeline ($26M, 2022-03-10), Omega Diagnostics ($7M, 2022-02-11), Silence Therapeutics ($20M, 2021-11-05), and Bicycle Therapeutics ($175M, 2021-10-13). Other sectors appear but do not reach the same frequency in the rows shown.
Are there notable outliers or “smallest disclosed” cases that stand apart from the general range?
The smallest disclosed amount is PurpleBricks at $210K (2022-08-24), which is dramatically lower than most other disclosed rounds. On the other side, ITM Power’s $342M (2021-10-14) is the dominant high outlier, with Kape Technologies ($217M on 2022-09-15) and Whitbread ($189M on 2022-10-04) forming the next tier.
