Across the 49 most recent funded entries tied to Rochester-area companies, the largest disclosed round is Nucleus RadioPharma’s $50M (Series Unknown) on 2026-04-20, and it is the only disclosed round above $40M in the set; the next-largest disclosed amounts sit far lower (e.g., AeroSafe Global $43M on 2023-08-29 and Blackbird.AI $28M on 2026-01-07). A second pattern is that “Series Unknown” dominates: 30 of 49 rows are labeled Series Unknown, and another 4 of 49 rows are undisclosed amounts (e.g., Domaille Engineering on 2025-10-09, Neurogenesis on 2025-05-08).
Geographically, the list is centered on Rochester, New York, and Rochester, Minnesota, with several out-of-state Rochester-labeled entries (Rochester, Michigan: Auto Hauler Exchange in 2025-02-04; OneStream Software in 2021-04-06) and Rochester, United States (Rion Vet on 2025-11-16). Temporally, the rows span 2021-04-06 (OneStream Software) through 2026-04-20 (Nucleus RadioPharma), with multiple clusters in 2025–2026 (e.g., April 2025 to January 2026 includes several $3M–$35M disclosed rounds such as Ambient Clinical Analytics $5M on 2026-03-31 and OLEDWorks $35M on 2025-06-24).

Frequently asked
What stands out about round sizes across this Rochester-focused list?
The largest disclosed round is Nucleus RadioPharma’s $50M on 2026-04-20, and it sits well above the rest of the disclosed amounts; the next-largest disclosed examples include AeroSafe Global’s $43M on 2023-08-29 and Blackbird.AI’s $28M on 2026-01-07.
Is the funding picture dominated by a specific stage label or by undisclosed deal terms?
Yes: 30 of 49 rows are tagged “Series Unknown” (including multiple large rounds like Nucleus RadioPharma $50M on 2026-04-20 and OLEDWorks $35M on 2025-06-24). Separately, 4 rows show an “undisclosed” amount (e.g., Domaille Engineering on 2025-10-09 and Neurogenesis on 2025-05-08), which limits disclosed comparisons.
Do these entries cluster in a narrow time window near the most recent rounds?
There is heavy recent activity spanning 2025–2026, with consecutive entries in early 2026 such as Nucleus RadioPharma $50M (2026-04-20), Cloud Storage Security $850K (2026-04-13), and Piraeus Medical $4M (2026-04-02). In late 2024, multiple disclosed rounds also appear in a tight band, including Vaccinex $6M (2024-09-18) and Vuzix $10M (2024-09-03).
Which city variants appear, and are any geography labels out of sync with “Rochester”?
Most entries specify Rochester, New York (e.g., Blackbird.AI $28M on 2026-01-07 and AeroSafe Global $43M on 2023-08-29) or Rochester, Minnesota (e.g., Nucleus RadioPharma $50M on 2026-04-20 and Piraeus Medical $4M on 2026-04-02). There are also out-of-state Rochester-labeled entries, including Rochester, Michigan (Auto Hauler Exchange $5M on 2025-02-04 and OneStream Software $200M on 2021-04-06).
Are there sector concentrations or outliers that merit a closer read?
Health Care and Biotechnology show up repeatedly across the disclosed rounds (e.g., Piraeus Medical $4M on 2026-04-02 and Pharmadva $990K on 2025-05-12; Vyriad $25M on 2025-12-23 and Rion Vet $15M on 2025-11-16). The clearest outlier on size is one of the biggest deal types in the set: OneStream Software at $200M (Series B) on 2021-04-06 is dramatically higher than other disclosed amounts in the list.
