Among the 50 pre-seed entries with disclosed amounts, Neurode’s $4M round on 2024-09-13 stands out as the largest; the next-largest disclosed rounds are $3M (e.g., Cable on 2026-05-27, XMO on 2026-05-14, Prefactor on 2026-06-01, and Optimaze on 2025-10-15), while the rest cluster mostly between $470K and $2M. That same-distribution skew is visible in geographic concentration: New South Wales is repeatedly represented by Sydney-based startups such as Oscorp Energy ($930K, 2026-06-04), Prefactor ($980K, 2026-06-01 is Melbourne but NSW is frequent), Agentsy ($700K, 2026-02-04), FoundIt ($2M, 2025-06-24), and Neurode ($4M, 2024-09-13). In sector mix, AI appears in 14+ entries (for example TakeCare OS on 2026-06-16 at $500K; Chime Labs on 2026-04-07 at $620K; Agentsy on 2026-02-04 at $700K), creating a dominant pattern across the 2024-09-09 to 2026-06-16 window. Undisclosed funding shows up 10 times (e.g., EthosOne on 2026-03-01; Snapcash on 2024-10-16), so comparisons are best anchored to disclosed rounds only.

Frequently asked
Which recent disclosed round is the size outlier, and how much larger is it than the next-largest disclosed amounts?
Neurode’s $4M pre-seed on 2024-09-13 is the largest disclosed round in the list; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M (Cable 2026-05-27, XMO 2026-05-14, Prefactor 2026-06-01, and Optimaze 2025-10-15).
Does the list show a tight time cluster at the top end of the page?
Yes: within roughly a two-week span, several June 2026 pre-seed rounds appear with disclosed amounts, including TakeCare OS ($500K, 2026-06-16), Oscorp Energy ($930K, 2026-06-04), tday ($500K, 2026-06-02), Flyweel ($2M, 2026-06-01), Nardo ($720K, 2026-06-01), and Prefactor ($980K, 2026-06-01).
Are any sectors over-represented relative to the rest of this pre-seed Australia list?
Artificial Intelligence is a repeated theme across the rows, with multiple entries such as TakeCare OS (2026-06-16, $500K), tday (2026-06-02, $500K), Prefactor (2026-06-01, $980K), Agentsy (2026-02-04, $700K), and Breaker (2025-03-13, $1M), suggesting AI-driven companies cluster more than single-occurrence categories.
How should an analyst treat comparisons given missing disclosures?
Ten entries list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., EthosOne on 2026-03-01 and Snapcash on 2024-10-16), so the largest/typical-round conclusions rely on disclosed rows only—for example, the highest disclosed is $4M (Neurode, 2024-09-13) while many disclosed rounds sit below $2M.
Which geography pattern is most visible from the company locations shown?
New South Wales and Sydney appear frequently across disclosed rounds, such as Oscorp Energy (Sydney, 2026-06-04, $930K), Agentsy (Sydney, 2026-02-04, $700K), Mary Technology (Sydney, 2024-09-26, $1M), and Neurode (Sydney, 2024-09-13, $4M), indicating a NSW/Sydney concentration within this subset.
What stage mix is actually present on this page, and what dates define the visible range?
All 50 rows are labeled “Pre-Seed.” The most recent round date shown is 2026-06-16 (TakeCare OS, $500K) and the oldest date shown is 2024-09-09 (Gether, Heatseeker, and Canopy all show 2024-09-09, each with “undisclosed” amounts for those named).
