Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed pre-seed check in this Austria list, and how isolated is it?
Graph Therapeutics is the largest disclosed round at $3M on 2025-01-09; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $2M (Synaps, 2025-02-05) and then a step down to $1M rounds such as Factorymaker (2026-02-19) and SALZSTROM (2025-04-17).
Do these pre-seed rounds cluster tightly by time, or are they spread out?
The entries span from 2021-01-13 (boomerank, $200K) to 2026-02-19 (Factorymaker, $1M). Within that range, 9 rounds are concentrated between 2024-11-14 (PROPCORN AI) and 2025-08-01 (mypaperwork.ai).

Vienna accounts for most entries shown (e.g., Factorymaker, Howie, fynk, PROOFcheck, Klarsicht), while other locations appear as smaller clusters such as Linz (Impact AI, undisclosed, 2024-02-19) and Niederosterreich/nearby cities like Klosterneuburg (Graph Therapeutics, $3M, 2025-01-09) and Kierling (PROPCORN AI, $210K, 2024-11-14).
Are there notable outliers besides the largest check, such as unusually small disclosed rounds or frequent undisclosed amounts?
