Across these 50 pre-seed rounds in Australia, the largest disclosed amount is $30M by Linktree (2024-05-17). That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts, where most rounds cluster below $4M (for example, Neurode at $4M on 2024-09-13, and multiple $3M rounds such as Optimaze at $3M on 2025-10-15 and Business Kitz at $3M on 2024-09-04). A temporal cluster is visible in the September 2024 window: there are multiple pre-seed closings on 2024-09-09 alone (Gether, Heatseeker, Canopy, Shutterspeed) plus nearby dates like Neurode on 2024-09-13 and Business Kitz on 2024-09-04.
Geographically, Sydney, New South Wales appears repeatedly across both the newest (e.g., Keeyu at $2M on 2025-11-12; Optimaze at $3M on 2025-10-15) and the September 2024 cluster (multiple entries on and around 2024-09-09). The list also contains notable disclosure gaps: 8 of 50 rounds are undisclosed (e.g., KCA Virtuality on 2025-05-23; Tokenise on 2025-03-01; Unseen on 2024-04-04). The rows span 2024-04-04 (Unseen) through 2025-11-14 (Drone-Hand).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the size outlier, and what does it imply versus other disclosed amounts here?
Linktree’s $30M pre-seed on 2024-05-17 is the only disclosed round at that level in the dataset and materially exceeds the next-highest disclosed amounts, such as Neurode at $4M on 2024-09-13.
Do the most recent pre-seed rounds cluster tightly by time (and where)?
Yes: between 2025-10-14 and 2025-10-16 there are multiple $2M–$3M disclosed rounds (PredicTx Health at $2M on 2025-10-14; Optimaze at $3M on 2025-10-15; Good Heat at $2M on 2025-10-16), showing a short burst in the latest month range of the listing.
Which city shows the strongest concentration across the newest and mid-2024 cluster?
Sydney, New South Wales dominates both ends of the timeline: recent examples include Keeyu ($2M, 2025-11-12) and Optimaze ($3M, 2025-10-15), while the September 2024 concentration includes multiple Sydney-based entries on 2024-09-09 (Gether, Heatseeker, Canopy, Shutterspeed).
How much of the list is undisclosed, and does that affect interpreting size patterns?
8 of 50 rounds show undisclosed amounts (e.g., KCA Virtuality on 2025-05-23; Tokenise on 2025-03-01; Unseen on 2024-04-04). This means the “below $4M” clustering among disclosed rounds (e.g., Neurode at $4M on 2024-09-13) should be read as a pattern in disclosed values rather than the full set.
Is there a sector theme that appears repeatedly enough to guide outreach or diligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a recurring label across the page, spanning both very recent rounds (Drone-Hand is listed with AI on 2025-11-14; Optimaze on 2025-10-15; PredicTx Health on 2025-10-14) and the September 2024 cluster (multiple AI-linked entries including Neurode at $4M on 2024-09-13).
