The disclosed round sizes in this UK private-equity set show a pronounced skew: FNZ’s $650M (2025-11-14) is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts (GridServe $242M on 2022-08-08 and Capital on Tap $200M on 2022-04-12), while several other recent entries cluster in much smaller bands (e.g., HubBox $8M on 2025-11-29; Jaja $30M on 2025-11-12). The list also contains an outlier-low disclosed floor: the smallest disclosed amounts are $100K, appearing for Little Moons (2022-03-09), Jellyfish Pictures (2022-03-01), The INKEY List (2022-02-18), and similarly for Renewable Power Capital is much higher at $289M (2022-03-01), reinforcing the dispersion.
Geographically, London appears repeatedly (e.g., HubBox 2025-11-29; Tide 2025-09-26; JobLogic 2025-09-11; CityFibre 2022-03-21), suggesting a concentration rather than a wide national spread. Temporally, the 50 rows run from 2022-02-18 (The INKEY List) through 2025-11-29 (HubBox), with a heavy concentration in the most recent months (multiple entries in 2025-11, and several in 2025-09). In terms of disclosure, only 25 of 50 rows list an amount while 25 are undisclosed (including Cruden Group $20M disclosed but Burgess and Healthcademia undisclosed on 2025-11-22).

Frequently asked
What stands out in disclosed deal size—does the largest recent amount dwarf the rest?
FNZ’s $650M (2025-11-14) is the clear size outlier among disclosed amounts, with the next-largest disclosed entries not in the same scale (e.g., GridServe $242M on 2022-08-08 and Capital on Tap $200M on 2022-04-12). Multiple other disclosed rounds sit far lower in comparison, such as HubBox $8M (2025-11-29) and MUSO $3M (2022-08-03).
Which months appear most concentrated in the most recent window?
The latest cluster is in late 2025: several rounds land in November 2025 (HubBox $8M on 2025-11-29; Cruden Group $20M on 2025-11-24; FNZ $650M on 2025-11-14), and additional activity shows up in September 2025 (Tide $120M on 2025-09-26; JobLogic $135M on 2025-09-11; Sherbet Electric Taxis $54M on 2025-09-14).
Are certain UK cities over-represented among these private-equity funded startups?
London dominates the location field, appearing across multiple entries and years (e.g., HubBox London on 2025-11-29; Tide London on 2025-09-26; JobLogic London on 2025-09-11; CityFibre London on 2022-03-21; Capital on Tap London on 2022-04-12). Other cities do appear (Manchester, Coventry, Edinburgh), but the dataset repeatedly returns to London rather than dispersing evenly.
How should sales/investment teams interpret the disclosure pattern here—are amounts commonly withheld?
Disclosure is split evenly: 25 of 50 rows show a disclosed amount and 25 are marked undisclosed. Examples of undisclosed rounds include Burgess (2025-11-22) and Healthcademia (2025-11-22) even though other companies around the same dates disclose amounts (e.g., Cruden Group $20M on 2025-11-24).
What sector mix repeats enough to look like a theme rather than one-offs?
B2B software and adjacent “software/IT” themes recur: Tide (B2B Software, Accounting, Finance) on 2025-09-26, EvoluteIQ (B2B Software) on 2025-09-21, Gearset (Information Technology) on 2022-06-22, and Optibrium (Software) on 2022-06-21. Fintech/financial services also appears multiple times, including FNZ (2025-11-14, FinTech/Finance), Jaja (2025-11-12, FinTech/Finance), and Capital on Tap (2022-04-12, Financial Services).
Are there low-end deal-size outliers that differ sharply from the rest?
Yes—multiple $100K disclosed rounds sit at the bottom of the disclosed range, including Little Moons ($100K on 2022-03-09), Jellyfish Pictures ($100K on 2022-03-01), and The INKEY List ($100K on 2022-02-18). By contrast, large disclosed rounds like FNZ $650M (2025-11-14) and Renewable Power Capital $289M (2022-03-01) indicate a wide spread rather than a tight band around a single typical check size.
