Across the 10 most recent Salem-area funded entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Lydian’s $44M (Series Unknown) on 2026-01-06. That figure dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount in the table: Tropical Products’ $16M on 2022-11-10, with the remaining disclosed rounds sitting well below $2M (for example, Page Street Publishing at $1M on 2025-07-07 and Active Surfaces at $350K on 2025-08-15). The list also clusters around Massachusetts: four entries are explicitly Salem, Massachusetts (Lydian, Active Surfaces, Steel Root, Tropical Products), alongside separate geographies sharing the same city name (Salem, New Hampshire; Salem, Oregon; and Salem, Tamil Nadu, India).
Temporally, the range of disclosed and undisclosed rounds runs from 2022-03-30 (HEMA Construction & Interior, Series B, $100K) to 2026-01-06 (Lydian). Stage disclosure is limited: 7 of 10 rows show “Series Unknown” and 2 of 10 rows are “undisclosed” on the amount; only one row is explicitly labeled “Series B” (2022-03-30). Sector coverage is broad, but Energy appears more than once (Lydian 2026-01-06; Active Surfaces 2025-08-15).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round in Salem here, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Lydian’s $44M on 2026-01-06 is the only disclosed round above $10M in the rows shown, with Tropical Products’ $16M on 2022-11-10 the next-largest disclosed amount. The other disclosed figures include $1M (Page Street Publishing, 2025-07-07), $410K (Pence Construction, 2022-06-01), and $100K (HEMA Construction & Interior, 2022-03-30).
Do the rounds concentrate in a specific Salem geography, or are multiple “Salem” locations equally represented?
Salem, Massachusetts is over-represented relative to the other Salem locations in the table: Lydian (2026-01-06), Active Surfaces (2025-08-15), Steel Root (2022-11-16), and Tropical Products (2022-11-10) account for 4 of 10 rows. The remaining entries split across Salem, New Hampshire (Active Surfaces is not there; instead Fabrizia Spirits 2024-10-17 and SuperDraft 2023-09-13), Salem, Oregon (Pence Construction, 2022-06-01), and Salem, Tamil Nadu, India (The Divine Foods 2023-10-12 and HEMA Construction & Interior 2022-03-30).
Which entries are clustered most tightly near the top of the date range (recent rounds)?
Within the most recent window of the rows shown (from 2025-07-07 onward), there are four entries: Page Street Publishing $1M (2025-07-07), Active Surfaces $350K (2025-08-15), Lydian $44M (2026-01-06), and Fabrizia Spirits in Salem, New Hampshire (undisclosed, 2024-10-17) is not in 2025, so the tight recent cluster is mainly 2025-07-07 to 2026-01-06. The next most recent dated entry after 2025-08-15 is Lydian on 2026-01-06.
How does the stage/series mix look in this Salem dataset, and what does that imply about comparability?
7 of 10 rows list “Series Unknown” as the stage classification, including Lydian (2026-01-06, $44M) and Active Surfaces (2025-08-15, $350K). Only one row is explicitly “Series B” (HEMA Construction & Interior on 2022-03-30, $100K), while two rows are “undisclosed” (Fabrizia Spirits and Pence Construction), limiting direct stage-based comparisons across the table.
Are there sector patterns or notable outliers (by sector or amount) worth targeting?
Energy is the only sector that appears in multiple entries (Lydian, Energy, $44M on 2026-01-06; Active Surfaces, Energy, $350K on 2025-08-15). On the outlier side, the largest disclosed round is in Energy (Lydian, $44M), while the next-largest disclosed amount ($16M for Tropical Products, 2022-11-10) sits in Consumer Goods, highlighting that size is not confined to a single sector.
