Seed rounds in France on this list span 2025-05-05 to 2025-11-30, with the most recent disclosed round at RUTILE.bike (Villeurbanne) on 2025-11-30 for $2M, and the smallest disclosed round at OGALO (Saint-jean-de-braye) on 2025-05-05 for $910K. Size-wise, one disclosed round is a clear outlier: Greenway’s $32M on 2025-09-16 dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts ($27M at STELLARIA on 2025-07-17, $26M at Arago on 2025-07-08, and $18M at NcodiN on 2025-11-17 and Orasio on 2025-05-15). No “Series unknown” appears in the visible rows; one round is explicitly undisclosed (Manifest on 2025-05-14), while the remaining disclosed amounts cluster mostly between roughly $1M and $18M.
Geographically, Paris and the Île-de-France area recur across many entries (e.g., Tsuga on 2025-11-07 for $10M; Probabl on 2025-10-18 for $15M; Arlequin AI on 2025-06-10 for $5M), alongside notable secondary hubs like Lyon (Ventuno Biotech on 2025-11-24 for $2M) and Toulouse (Manifest on 2025-05-14, undisclosed; WEMET on 2025-05-09 for $1M). Temporally, activity concentrates around mid-to-late September 2025 (multiple $3M–$32M rounds on 2025-09-16, including Greenway at $32M, Freeda at $4M, Alltheway at $4M, and Temelion at $4M), before tapering toward May’s older end.

Frequently asked
Which disclosed seed rounds stand out by size on this France list, and how extreme is the top round versus the rest?
Greenway’s $32M seed on 2025-09-16 is the largest disclosed amount here, and it is materially higher than the next-largest disclosed figures: STELLARIA’s $27M (2025-07-17) and Arago’s $26M (2025-07-08), with $18M also appearing twice (NcodiN on 2025-11-17 and Orasio on 2025-05-15).
How do the smallest disclosed rounds compare to the lowest end of the typical range in this set?
The smallest disclosed amount is OGALO at $910K on 2025-05-05; the next-smallest disclosed amounts are also sub-$1M (Aircap at $580K on 2025-07-21 is even lower). Most other entries sit above those lows, including several in the $1M–$3M band such as WEMET ($1M on 2025-05-09) and Exwayz ($1M on 2025-11-19).
Is there a tight time window where rounds cluster, especially around September 2025?
Yes. On 2025-09-16 alone, multiple seed rounds appear across different companies and sectors: Greenway ($32M), Freeda ($4M), Alltheway ($4M), and Temelion ($4M), creating a dense cluster in mid-September. Outside that day, there are still frequent entries in July (e.g., STELLARIA $27M on 2025-07-17 and Arago $26M on 2025-07-08) but September shows the most conspicuous concentration on a single date.
Do Paris/Île-de-France locations outweigh other cities in this seed set?
Paris and Île-de-France are prominent across many rows, including Tsuga (Paris, $10M on 2025-11-07), Probabl (Paris/Île-de-France, $15M on 2025-10-18), Delpha (Paris/Île-de-France, $2M on 2025-06-02), and Arlequin AI (Paris/Île-de-France, $5M on 2025-06-10). Other hubs show up as well—Lyon for Ventuno Biotech ($2M on 2025-11-24) and Toulouse for WEMET ($1M on 2025-05-09)—but Paris/Île-de-France is the most repeatedly stated geography.
Are there notable outliers that differ by sector even within the seed stage?
Sector extremes show up in both directions. Greenway ($32M on 2025-09-16) is environment-focused, while the list also includes very large AI-linked rounds such as NcodiN ($18M on 2025-11-17) and Arago ($26M on 2025-07-08); conversely, smaller rounds often cluster in consumer, apps, and data (e.g., Aircap at $580K in financial services on 2025-07-21 and Sounduct at $3M in data/analytics on 2025-06-03).
Is there any undisclosed seed amount or classification gap in the most recent 50 rows?
Only one row is explicitly undisclosed: Manifest (Toulouse) on 2025-05-14 with an undisclosed amount. All other rows shown provide disclosed dollar amounts, so the undisclosed entry does not affect size comparisons except as a non-measured point in the $ range.
