Across the 9 most recent Rostock-funded entries shown, one disclosed round stands out: Zasta’s $65M (Series Unknown) on 2023-01-17, which is far above the next-highest disclosed amounts of $45M (Centogene, Post-IPO Debt on 2022-02-01) and $11M (Hepster, Series B on 2023-07-10). Disclosed amounts otherwise cluster at the lower end, including $6M (Artcline, Convertible Note on 2025-09-13) and $2M (Sawayo, Seed on 2021-02-24), with several rows marked undisclosed.
The dates span 2021-02-24 (Sawayo) through 2025-09-13 (Artcline). Within that window, multiple rounds cluster in 2023, with four entries in the first half of 2023 (Fischer 2023-04-03; Hepster 2023-07-10; AIM3D 2023-07-10; Zasta 2023-01-17), and Hepster appears twice (Series A $10M on 2021-03-05 and Series B $11M on 2023-07-10). Sector-wise, Biotechnology appears in 2 of 9 entries (Artcline; Centogene), while Financial Services appears in 3 of 9 entries (Hepster twice; Zasta once).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Rostock set, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Zasta’s $65M on 2023-01-17 (Series Unknown) is the only disclosed amount above $50M in the list. The next-highest disclosed rounds are Centogene at $45M (2022-02-01) and Hepster at $11M (2023-07-10), making $65M a clear outlier versus the rest of the disclosed range.
Do the most recent rounds concentrate into a narrow timeframe?
The date range runs from 2021-02-24 (Sawayo, Seed, $2M) to 2025-09-13 (Artcline, Convertible Note, $6M). Looking at the provided 9 rows, 2023 accounts for 4 entries (Zasta 2023-01-17; Fischer 2023-04-03; AIM3D 2023-07-10; Hepster 2023-07-10), indicating a 2023 cluster rather than evenly distributed timing across the whole span.
Which entries are effectively “hard to compare” because the round size is not disclosed?
Three of the 9 rows show non-disclosed amounts: AIM3D (undisclosed) on 2023-07-10 with Series Unknown, Fischer (undisclosed) on 2023-04-03 at Seed, and Zasta’s disclosed $65M is not part of this group. In contrast, 6 of 9 rows report amounts, enabling comparisons like Zasta’s $65M outlier against disclosed peers such as Centogene’s $45M.
Are any sectors over-represented among these 9 Rostock entries?
Financial Services appears in 3 of 9 rows: Hepster on 2021-03-05 (Series A, $10M) and 2023-07-10 (Series B, $11M), plus Zasta on 2023-01-17 (Series Unknown, $65M). Biotechnology also shows up in 2 of 9 entries (Artcline on 2025-09-13 at $6M; Centogene on 2022-02-01 at $45M), while other sectors appear once (e.g., Manufacturing for AIM3D; Apps for Sawayo).
Are there sector- or company-level outliers worth attention beyond the largest check size?
Beyond Zasta’s $65M (2023-01-17), Hepster is an internal outlier for repeat funding: $10M in 2021-03-05 (Series A) and $11M in 2023-07-10 (Series B). On the low end, Duschkraft at $1M (2021-05-20) and Sawayo at $2M (2021-02-24) bracket the bottom disclosed amounts, sitting well below the mid-to-upper disclosed rounds like Centogene’s $45M (2022-02-01).
