Across the 50 Rotterdam rounds shown, one disclosed outlier dominates: Billink’s $32M round (2024-01-18) is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts, with the $25M Spheroid Universe (2023-02-21) and $11M Nearfield Instruments (2023-05-22) clustered well below it. Most of the list sits in a lower band—several entries are $3M or less (e.g., Builders $4M on 2025-10-28; ClickDrive $850K on 2025-05-01; Localie $100K on 2022-08-28), while many rounds are not disclosed.
The rounds concentrate heavily in time, with a dense run of deals from 2024-10 through 2025-06 (e.g., Blue Radix $6M on 2024-10-07; EventCHI $2M on 2024-06-18; umob $4M on 2025-06-17; Builders $4M on 2025-10-28). Stage labels are skewed toward unspecified outcomes: “Series Unknown” appears in 10 rows and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 12 rows. Sector-wise, Internet Services/Software/IT themes recur (information technology and AI both show multiple entries), alongside clusters in Commerce and Shopping (multiple pre-seed/seed rounds such as Blooming Good $1M on 2025-01-15 and Passionfruit $380K on 2024-10-28). The newest round is Builders on 2025-10-28, and the oldest disclosed round is Localie on 2022-08-28 (with undisclosed amounts appearing earlier as well).

Frequently asked
Which Rotterdam round is the disclosed size outlier, and how does it compare to the rest of the list?
Billink’s $32M (Series Unknown) on 2024-01-18 is the only disclosed round above $25M; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $25M for Spheroid Universe on 2023-02-21 and $11M for Nearfield Instruments on 2023-05-22.
How concentrated are deal dates in the most recent window of rounds shown?
A large share of activity clusters between late 2024 and mid-2025, including Blue Radix $6M on 2024-10-07, Zeno $2M on 2025-04-22, umob $4M on 2025-06-17, and Builders $4M on 2025-10-28; the newest entry is Builders (2025-10-28) and the oldest disclosed amount shown is Localie’s $100K on 2022-08-28.
What’s the disclosure pattern on both stage labels and amounts, and does it affect size comparisons?
“Series Unknown” shows up in 10 rows (e.g., Builders 2025-10-28 and PRYME BV 2024-06-11), while “undisclosed” amounts appear in 12 rows (e.g., Harmonix Finance on 2025-03-10 and Outlander Materials on 2024-09-05). This means the disclosed max/min comparisons apply only to the subset with disclosed amounts (min disclosed is Localie $100K on 2022-08-28).
Which stage types dominate the disclosed mix, and where do pre-seed/seed rounds cluster?
Pre-Seed and Seed are frequent across recent dates, including Avery $310K (2025-03-02, Pre-Seed), Outlander Materials (2024-09-05, amount undisclosed, Series Unknown) next to multiple Seed rounds, and multiple Seed rounds in 2024-11 to 2025-06 like Oneteam $3M (2024-11-20) and EventCHI $2M (2024-06-18). There are also larger late-stage-labeled rounds where the amount is disclosed (e.g., Delta Diagnostics $6M on 2023-05-09, Series A; Skoon Energy $5M on 2023-10-19, Series A).
Are there sector clusters worth prioritizing for outreach or diligence?
Commerce and Shopping repeats with multiple disclosed rounds (e.g., Blooming Good $1M on 2025-01-15; Passionfruit $380K on 2024-10-28; Billink $32M on 2024-01-18), while AI appears multiple times as well (e.g., Zeno $2M on 2025-04-22; Blue Radix $6M on 2024-10-07; EventCHI $2M on 2024-06-18; PEAX Data is undisclosed on 2023-06-15).
Which entries are “look twice” cases beyond just size (e.g., uncommon stage/sector signals)?
Several rows combine larger disclosed amounts with non-typical sector mixes compared to the many smaller pre-seed/seed deals, such as PRYME BV $5M (Energy) on 2024-06-11 and Delta Diagnostics $6M (Biotechnology, Series A) on 2023-05-09. Meanwhile, multiple early-stage items have very small disclosed amounts, including Localie $100K (2022-08-28, Pre-Seed), which is materially closer to the lower end than most other disclosed rounds.
