The disclosed deal sizes in San Mateo cluster tightly below the top tier, but one outlier stands out: Bridgepointe Technologies raised $875M on 2026-04-29, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed round at $400M (Generalist AI on 2026-06-04). Below that, the remaining top disclosed amounts step down through $300M (Hercules Capital, 2026-02-05) and $175M (Sagimet Biosciences, 2026-04-27), while the smallest disclosed entry is Waterline Development’s $210K on 2025-11-07.
Deal timing is concentrated toward the most recent months: the listing spans 2024-05-21 to 2026-07-23, and 2026 includes multiple high-ticket rounds (e.g., Observe at $125M on 2025-06-05 is the peak late-2025 anchor, while 2026-04 through 2026-07 contains most of the top-8 disclosed amounts). Sector and stage signals also skew toward AI: AI appears in far more entries than other themes (e.g., Elio Labs, Kaon, Uvera, Generalist AI, AtScale, Wisdom AI, and others), and “Series Unknown” is prominent in the disclosed set (five of the top-8 disclosed amounts are explicitly categorized, while the wider table includes many “Series Unknown” rows).
