Disclosed pre-seed rounds in this Canada list cluster tightly around the $1M mark, but one entry stands apart: Lake raised $3M on 2025-09-17, and Perceptive Space matched $3M on 2024-08-06. Everything else with a disclosed amount sits at or below $2M, with several smaller checks including AgroGene Solutions at $30K (2025-03-21) and three $100K rounds at Momentum Health (2024-08-01), Leasey (2024-06-18), and aiphrodite.ai (2024-06-12). Geographically, Toronto-based companies recur frequently alongside Vancouver and Calgary, while the dates shown span 2024-04-09 (Walli HR) through 2025-11-25 (PolarGrid). AI appears repeatedly (e.g., PolarGrid $1M on 2025-11-25; Nucleus $1M on 2025-03-24; Glassbox on 2025-02-18 for $1M), and undisclosed round sizes are common (18 of 50 rows are “undisclosed” rather than a dollar figure).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed pre-seed rounds here, and how extreme are they versus the rest?
The top disclosed amount is $3M, held by Lake ($3M on 2025-09-17) and Perceptive Space ($3M on 2024-08-06). After that ceiling, the next-highest disclosed level is $2M (e.g., Loon $2M on 2025-11-02; Voltra $2M on 2025-05-14), while the low end includes $30K for AgroGene Solutions (2025-03-21) and $100K rounds for Momentum Health (2024-08-01), Leasey (2024-06-18), and aiphrodite.ai (2024-06-12).
Do any cities or metros dominate among these pre-seed announcements?
Toronto shows up repeatedly across multiple months (e.g., Gia Halifax is not Toronto; instead: Crewscope $1M on 2025-08-14, Sprout Family $1M on 2025-03-17, Glassbox $1M on 2025-02-18, NetNow $1M on 2024-09-09). Vancouver and Calgary also recur, including Vancouver rounds like PolarGrid’s Ottawa contrast, but specifically: Solenery is Toronto, while Vancouver examples include Opal $2M (2025-02-25), Artemis $2M (2024-05-22), and Free Agent $360K (2024-10-22).
Are rounds concentrated in a particular recent time window, or are they spread out?
The displayed set spans from 2024-04-09 (Walli HR, undisclosed) through 2025-11-25 (PolarGrid, $1M). The most recent quarter shows frequent entries with disclosed sizes, including multiple $2M rounds in late 2025 such as Loon ($2M on 2025-11-02) and Lake ($3M on 2025-09-17), but there are also earlier disclosed clusters like August 2024 where Perceptive Space hits $3M (2024-08-06) and Hutsy reaches $2M (2024-08-01).
Which sector label appears most consistently, and does it correlate with larger checks?
AI is the most recurrent sector label in the rows, appearing for companies including PolarGrid ($1M on 2025-11-25), Gia (AI mentioned on 2025-09-22 with $1M), Nucleus ($1M on 2025-03-24), and Glassbox ($1M on 2025-02-18). In disclosed amounts tied to AI labels, $1M is common (e.g., PolarGrid, Nucleus, Glassbox), while larger disclosed rounds also occur in the same sector set (e.g., vopemed $2M on 2025-04-02; Opal $2M on 2025-02-25).
How much of the list is unverifiable on amount due to ‘undisclosed’ rounds, and does that affect outlier detection?
18 of the 50 rows use “undisclosed” for amount, so only 32 rows contribute to comparisons like the $3M outliers. Among disclosed checks, the low-end $100K cluster is visible (Momentum Health $100K on 2024-08-01, Leasey $100K on 2024-06-18, aiphrodite.ai $100K on 2024-06-12), but undisclosed entries—such as On Time Bride (2025-10-04) and Tide Spark (2025-09-28)—could include additional extremes that are not observable here.
Are there any clear cross-sector outliers beyond size?
Yes: the smallest disclosed amount in the set is AgroGene Solutions at $30K (2025-03-21) under Biotechnology, which sits far below the rest of the disclosed range. At the upper edge, the largest $3M disclosed rounds belong to Lake (Travel, 2025-09-17) and Perceptive Space (Information Technology, 2024-08-06), indicating that top disclosed sizes are not confined to a single sector label.
