Reston’s 28 most recent funded entries show one clear size outlier in disclosed rounds: Laser Light Communications’ $100M (2023-11-16), while the next-largest disclosed amount is Raft at $60M (2024-04-10); most other disclosed rounds cluster well below that range (for example, ClearVector $13M on 2025-05-13 and Elastio Software $18M on 2023-06-14). Timing also clusters: 12 entries fall between 2024-04-10 and 2024-12-11, spanning multiple themes including IT/Data and several AI-labeled companies such as Kovr.ai ($4M, 2025-05-14) and Silent Push ($10M, 2024-12-11). Sector and stage mix skew toward technology: AI appears in at least 5 entries (Kovr.ai; Rohirrim; ScienceLogic; Tellius; Anno.Ai; plus Centripetal), and “Series Unknown” plus “undisclosed” amounts appear frequently (7 labeled “Series Unknown” and 4 additional rows with “undisclosed” amounts). Disclosed amounts span $100K at SailPlan (2022-03-03) up to $100M in 2023-11-16, with rounds extending from 2020-06-16 (careMESH) through the most recent 2025-05-14 (Kovr.ai).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the largest in the Reston list, and how different is it from the rest?
Laser Light Communications’ $100M on 2023-11-16 is the top disclosed amount, and it materially exceeds the next-largest disclosed round: Raft’s $60M on 2024-04-10. After that, several other disclosed rounds sit in the teens to single digits (e.g., ClearVector $13M on 2025-05-13; HireLogic $6M on 2023-02-22).
Do the funding rounds cluster in a particular time window?
Yes. A dense stretch runs from 2024-04-10 (Raft) through 2024-12-11 (Silent Push), including multiple disclosed rounds such as CargoSense $8M (2024-06-12) and ActiveNav $8M (2024-05-23). Earlier years appear as fewer datapoints (e.g., StreetShares Platform $10M on 2020-10-22 and careMESH $5M on 2020-06-16).
Which stage labels show up most, and do undisclosed amounts limit comparisons?
“Series Unknown” appears 7 times (for example, Rohirrim on 2024-07-10 and Laser Light Communications on 2023-11-16). Separately, 4 rows list an “undisclosed” amount (Rohirrim 2024-07-10; Zoomph 2023-06-06; Centripetal 2023-05-29; Blue Vigil 2022-09-14), which means disclosed-size comparisons are only possible for the remaining rows with dollar amounts.
Are any sectors over-represented compared with the rest of the list?
AI appears repeatedly, at least 5 entries with AI in the sector field: Kovr.ai (Seed, $4M on 2025-05-14), Rohirrim (Series Unknown, undisclosed on 2024-07-10), ScienceLogic (Venture - Series Unknown, $21M on 2022-10-21), Tellius (Series B, $16M on 2022-10-20), and Anno.Ai (Series A, $12M on 2021-08-05), with Centripetal also labeled AI (undisclosed on 2023-05-29).
Which entry is the smallest disclosed round, and how does it compare to the largest?
The smallest disclosed amount is $100K for SailPlan on 2022-03-03. That sits far below the largest disclosed $100M round (Laser Light Communications on 2023-11-16), creating a wide disclosed-range spread across Reston entries.
