Across these 50 German pre-seed rounds, the largest disclosed amount is Forgent AI’s $5M on 2025-09-24; the next-largest disclosed rounds are $6M (Hades Mining, 2025-08-20) and $5M (octonomy, 2025-02-05), while most other disclosed entries cluster between $1M and $3M (e.g., Zeeg $1M on 2025-11-02; Logistica OS $2M on 2025-11-23; Pactos $3M on 2025-09-12). Several entries also cluster in time: from 2025-12-02 through 2025-11-23, multiple Berlin-based deals show up in quick succession (Logistica OS, Zaiffer, eventpage.ai in Munich, and Zeeg), and there is a denser run in September 2025 with multiple AI/cloud-adjacent pre-seeds (Forgent AI, Pactos, Stagewise). City concentration is strongest in Berlin among the disclosed deals (e.g., Logistica OS 2025-11-23 $2M; AnyTax 2025-10-31 $1M; Fliz 2025-10-02 $1M; Credibur 2025-07-23 $2M; many other undisclosed Berlin entries), while older activity bottoms out at 2024-12-02 (Loyalift, $790K) and 2024-12-16 (Pagent $900K). Outliers exist both ways: Hades Mining’s $6M (2025-08-20) sits well above the $200K floor (Decen Space on 2025-04-17) even as a large share of rounds are not disclosed (24 of 50 entries are “undisclosed”).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed pre-seed round here, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed deals?
The largest disclosed amount is Hades Mining at $6M on 2025-08-20; that figure is well above the $5M rounds (Forgent AI on 2025-09-24 and octonomy on 2025-02-05) and above the broader $1M–$3M cluster seen in entries like Logistica OS ($2M, 2025-11-23) and Pactos ($3M, 2025-09-12).
How concentrated are these deals in time—do recent rounds cluster into specific windows?
Yes. The most recent 2–3 weeks show repeated activity across major cities, including Logistica OS ($2M, 2025-11-23) and Zaiffer ($2M, 2025-11-14) in Berlin, while September 2025 contains multiple large/AI-adjacent pre-seeds such as Forgent AI ($5M, 2025-09-24), Pactos ($3M, 2025-09-12), and Stagewise ($500K, 2025-09-12).
Is Berlin over-represented compared with other cities in this list?
Berlin appears as the base location for many entries, including disclosed rounds across the range (Zeeg $1M on 2025-11-02; AnyTax $1M on 2025-10-31; Fliz $1M on 2025-10-02; Credibur $2M on 2025-07-23), plus multiple Berlin deals with undisclosed amounts (e.g., Sacred Valley Tech on 2025-11-10 and Mello on 2025-01-17).
Are there clear sector clusters, especially around AI-heavy companies?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows up in a large number of entries, spanning both higher-ticket rounds like Forgent AI ($5M, 2025-09-24) and smaller disclosed deals like coolnis ($310K, 2025-02-04 is commerce not AI) or eventpage.ai’s AI mix (370K, 2025-11-04). The list also repeatedly pairs AI with B2B software signals, including eventpage.ai (B2B Software + AI, 2025-11-04 $370K) and Optimeleon (AI + B2B Software, 2025-09-26 $2M).
What outliers or undercuts stand out in disclosed amounts?
On the low end, Decen Space is the smallest disclosed amount at $200K (2025-04-17), while the upper end is dominated by $5M–$6M outcomes such as Hades Mining ($6M, 2025-08-20), Forgent AI ($5M, 2025-09-24), and octonomy ($5M, 2025-02-05). At the same time, 24 of 50 entries are “undisclosed,” so comparisons are mostly driven by a minority of disclosed rounds.
