Across the 15 most recent France-based Series D rounds shown, Qonto’s $552M disclosed round on 2022-01-11 is the clear size outlier, with the next-largest disclosed amounts landing in the $250M–$337M range (e.g., InnovaFeed $250M on 2022-09-20 and Exotec $337M on 2022-01-17). The rest sit below $221M, including Alan at $221M (2021-04-19), Shift Technology at $220M (2021-11-02), and Swile at $200M (2021-10-11).

Frequently asked
Which recent Series D round is largest in this France list, and how does it change the size distribution?
Qonto’s $552M disclosed round (2022-01-11) is the standout outlier: the next-largest disclosed amounts are materially smaller, including Exotec’s $337M (2022-01-17) and InnovaFeed’s $250M (2022-09-20). Most other disclosed rounds remain below Alan’s $221M (2021-04-19) and Shift Technology’s $220M (2021-11-02).
Is there a city hub effect, or are companies spread evenly across France?
Paris, Ile-De-France dominates the geography: 12 of 15 companies are listed in Paris, including Wandercraft (2025-06-06, $75M), Pigment (2024-04-04, $144M), and Akeneo (2022-03-15, $135M). Non-Paris entries are limited to Nantes (Akeneo is actually Paris; the Nantes listing is Akeneo?—in this data Akeneo is Nantes, Pays De La Loire for 2022-03-15 $135M), Lille (Exotec, 2022-01-17, $337M), and one other regional city appears once each.
How clustered are these rounds by time within the 15-row window?
The 15 rounds span 2021-03-15 (PayFit, $107M) to 2025-06-06 (Wandercraft, $75M). Nine of 15 entries close in 2022, including Qonto (2022-01-11, $552M) through InnovaFeed (2022-09-20, $250M), indicating a heavy 2022 concentration.
Are any sectors repeated often enough to suggest a theme, or is the mix mostly one-offs?
Only a few sectors repeat: “Financial Services” appears twice (Qonto $552M on 2022-01-11; Alan $221M on 2021-04-19) and “Administrative Services” appears twice (Swile $200M on 2021-10-11; PayFit $107M on 2021-03-15). All other sectors in this slice appear once each, such as Hardware (Wandercraft, InterCloud, Exotec).
What are the most recent and oldest disclosed rounds in this table, and are they in the same sectors?
The most recent round shown is Wandercraft’s Series D on 2025-06-06 for $75M in Hardware (Paris). The oldest round shown is PayFit’s Series D on 2021-03-15 for $107M in Administrative Services (Paris), so the earliest and latest entries come from different sectors.
Are there small-round anchors or other notable low-end numbers compared with the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The smallest disclosed amount in the rows is LimFlow SA at $39M (Series D on 2022-04-05), which sits far below the upper range set by Qonto $552M (2022-01-11) and Exotec $337M (2022-01-17). The low-end therefore contrasts strongly with the top of the distribution rather than forming a tight low-price cluster.
