Among the 14 most recent Science and Engineering rounds shown, the only disclosed round above $50M is Vertical Aerospace at $60M on 2025-07-09; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $6M (SRT Marine Systems PLC on 2023-06-23) and $5M (44.01 on 2025-02-05), so $60M dwarfs the rest of the disclosed figures. The geographic pattern also looks concentrated: London and the broader “London, England” entries appear multiple times (44.01 on 2025-02-05 at London, Spaceflux on 2024-06-13 at London, ORCA Computing on 2022-06-09 at London, and Caeli Nova on 2022-02-21 at London), while other cities appear once each (e.g., Buildstash in Glasgow on 2024-09-09, Orbex Space in Forres on 2023-12-13, and Mako Aerospace in Glasgow on 2022-05-05).
On the timeline, rounds span from 2022-02-21 (Caeli Nova, Series A, $2M) through 2025-07-09 (Vertical Aerospace, Series Unknown, $60M). Stage disclosure is mixed: five of the 14 rows carry “undisclosed” amounts (Nium 2024-07-31, Spaceflux 2024-06-13, and CC Informatics 2023-06-06 among them), and another series classification pattern shows multiple “Series Unknown” entries across the period (including Vertical Aerospace, Storegga Geotechnologies, Nium, Spaceflux, and Catagen).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this UK Science and Engineering slice, and how far above the rest is it?
Vertical Aerospace’s $60M round on 2025-07-09 is the only disclosed amount above $50M. The next-largest disclosed amounts shown are $6M (SRT Marine Systems PLC on 2023-06-23) and $5M (44.01 on 2025-02-05), making the $60M figure materially higher than the rest of the disclosed rows.
Do any cities appear repeatedly, suggesting a cluster in where these teams are based?
London shows up multiple times across different rounds: 44.01 (London) on 2025-02-05 with $5M, Spaceflux (London) on 2024-06-13 with an undisclosed amount, ORCA Computing (London) on 2022-06-09 with $15M, and Caeli Nova (London) on 2022-02-21 with $2M. Other cities like Glasgow (Buildstash in 2024-09-09 and Mako Aerospace in 2022-05-05) and Belfast (Catagen on 2024-02-01) appear less frequently.
Which companies have the smallest disclosed amounts, and are they tied to specific stages?
The smallest disclosed amount is $120K for Buildstash on 2024-09-09 (Pre-Seed). The next-lowest disclosed amounts shown are $700K for Mako Aerospace on 2022-05-05 (Pre-Seed) and $1M for Vanguard Tech on 2024-05-13 (Seed) and Catagen on 2024-02-01 (Series Unknown), so the low-end amounts are concentrated in early-stage labels like Pre-Seed.
What portion of rounds have non-disclosed amounts, and which named companies illustrate that pattern?
Three of the 14 rows show amounts as “undisclosed” (Nium on 2024-07-31, Spaceflux on 2024-06-13, and CC Informatics on 2023-06-06). That’s a meaningful share relative to the fully disclosed set, and it limits size comparisons for those entries.
How are the rounds distributed by time—are there recent clusters near 2025?
Yes: there are multiple 2025 rounds in the most recent window, including Vertical Aerospace (2025-07-09, $60M), Storegga Geotechnologies (2025-04-22, $4M), and 44.01 (2025-02-05, $5M). Earlier years also cluster in recognizable pockets, such as 2022 with ORCA Computing (2022-06-09, $15M), Mako Aerospace (2022-05-05, $700K), and Caeli Nova (2022-02-21, $2M).
