The largest disclosed round in the San Jose list is Hark’s $700M on 2026-05-20, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amount of $180M (AppZen, 2025-09-24) and remains far above the rest of the top disclosed figures ($143M Frore Systems on 2026-03-16; $125M ExaForce on 2026-05-12 and Kai on 2026-03-10; $100M Spectro Cloud on 2026-07-15, ZutaCore on 2026-06-02, and Axiado Corporation on 2025-12-02). Timing is also clustered: among the disclosed rounds shown, multiple large raises appear in a roughly mid-2025 to mid-2026 window (e.g., $700M in May 2026; $143M in March 2026; $180M in September 2025), while the list spans 2025-08-21 to 2026-07-23. Sector-wise, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a repeated theme across the city, and the data shows a meaningful amount of pricing ambiguity through “undisclosed” amounts (15 of 50 rows).

Frequently asked
What outliers stand out in disclosed funding size, and how far ahead is the top round?
Hark’s $700M on 2026-05-20 is the largest disclosed amount in the table and sits well above the next-largest disclosed amount of $180M (AppZen, 2025-09-24), with the remainder of the top disclosed figures grouped much lower ($143M Frore Systems on 2026-03-16; $125M ExaForce on 2026-05-12 and Kai on 2026-03-10).
Do the biggest raises cluster in a particular time window?
Large disclosed rounds concentrate across late 2025 through mid-2026: $180M (AppZen, 2025-09-24), $143M (Frore Systems, 2026-03-16), $125M (ExaForce, 2026-05-12; Kai, 2026-03-10), and $700M (Hark, 2026-05-20), while the overall listing runs from 2025-08-21 to 2026-07-23.
How much of the list is “undisclosed,” and where does that affect comparability?
Out of 50 rows shown, 15 have “undisclosed” amounts (including Everest AI on 2026-06-15 and Aippy on 2026-06-02), so size comparisons based on disclosed amounts are constrained to 35 entries. The smallest disclosed amount is $20K (Unephra, 2025-09-08), which can help anchor disclosed-only ranges when “undisclosed” dominates a subsection.
Are “Series Unknown” classifications common in this San Jose slice?
Yes. Multiple entries use “Series Unknown,” such as TYLsemi (2026-07-14), Green Circuits (2026-06-01), and Point2 Technology (2026-04-21), alongside “Series Unknown” or “Venture - Series Unknown” labels (e.g., Fortera, 2025-09-22). This creates stage-mixing that can blur comparisons between investor appetite and risk tier.
Which stage labels and sectors appear repeatedly enough to guide targeting?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) appears repeatedly across companies (e.g., Hark on 2026-05-20; Wirestock on 2026-05-14; SiMa.ai on 2026-04-08; VOC AI on 2025-12-22), and AI-backed companies also show up across multiple stages such as Seed (mQOL on 2026-05-13; Aniai on 2026-01-20) and Series A (Hark on 2026-05-20; Tessera Labs on 2026-05-06; Kai on 2026-03-10).
Which entries closed closest to the most recent date in the list?
The most recent round date shown is 2026-07-23 (EdgeLens AI, $100K), followed by 2026-07-15 (Spectro Cloud, $100M) and 2026-07-14 (TYLsemi, $43M). The top disclosed amount also does not occur at the newest edge; the $700M round (Hark, 2026-05-20) sits earlier than the latest entries.
