Across these 27 Austria pre-seed rounds, the largest disclosed amount is Heylog’s $3M on 2022-06-03; it sits above the next-largest disclosed values (also $3M in the list is matched only by Graph Therapeutics’ $3M on 2025-01-09, while multiple other disclosed rounds cluster between roughly $400K and $2M). Undisclosed amounts are also common: 6 of the 27 entries list “undisclosed” (mypaperwork.ai on 2025-08-01; Impact AI and SHION on 2024-02-19; reebuild on 2023-01-18; Kern Tec on 2022-12-19; and play on 2022-07-10). Temporal clustering is visible near 2024–early 2025, with many rounds concentrated in Q1–Q2 2024 and again in early 2025 (the span runs from 2021-01-13 with boomerank through 2025-08-01 with mypaperwork.ai). Sector-wise, AI appears repeatedly (10+ entries) alongside smaller concentrations in real estate (3), biotechnology (3), and hardware (2), with most companies based in Vienna and the rest spread across cities such as Linz, Graz, and Innsbruck.

Frequently asked
What outlier rounds stand out in this Austria pre-seed set, based on disclosed amounts?
Heylog posted the highest disclosed figure at $3M on 2022-06-03, and Graph Therapeutics is tied at $3M on 2025-01-09; beyond those, disclosed rounds more often land below ~$2M (e.g., Synaps $2M on 2025-02-05 and sequestra $1M on 2025-02-04). Several entries are materially smaller in disclosed size, including silana at $10K on 2022-08-01.
Which city shows the strongest geographic concentration for these rounds?
Vienna dominates the list, with multiple pre-seed rounds in Vienna dated from 2025 (e.g., mypaperwork.ai on 2025-08-01 and SALZSTROM on 2025-04-17) back through 2021 (e.g., boomerank on 2021-01-13 and wowflow is listed outside Vienna). Non-Vienna locations appear, but less frequently, such as Linz (Impact AI on 2024-02-19, undisclosed) and Graz (Celeris Therapeutics on 2021-07-19 at $700K).
How much of the activity is concentrated near the most recent quarter(s) of dates shown?
The most recent entry is mypaperwork.ai on 2025-08-01 (undisclosed). Within the later part of the window, there are multiple pre-seed rounds in 2025 clustered early-to-mid year, including SALZSTROM ($1M) on 2025-04-17, Howie ($630K) on 2025-03-03, and Synaps ($2M) on 2025-02-05.
What stage-and-sector mix dominates, and where are the main concentrations?
All rows are pre-seed, but sector concentration is uneven: AI is the most frequent theme across the list (e.g., Howie $630K on 2025-03-03; Totoy $550K on 2024-10-02; Proofcheck $540K on 2024-02-02). Other repeated areas include real estate (rebuilt? actually reebuild is real estate but undisclosed on 2023-01-18; Wowflow $400K on 2021-02-25) and biotechnology (Graph Therapeutics $3M on 2025-01-09; Celeris Therapeutics $700K on 2021-07-19).
How often are round sizes undisclosed, and does that affect outlier comparisons?
6 of 27 entries are labeled “undisclosed” (including Impact AI and SHION on 2024-02-19, both undisclosed, and play on 2022-07-10). Because the top disclosed amounts come from Heylog ($3M on 2022-06-03) and Graph Therapeutics ($3M on 2025-01-09), undisclosed rows limit confidence on whether any larger-than-$3M deals exist but do not change the disclosed outlier position.
