Among the 11 most recent UK sports entries shown, the largest disclosed round is Panache Cruises’ $4M on 2025-12-11; every other disclosed amount falls below $1M (next-highest is Real Bedford FC at $5M on 2024-04-12, which actually becomes the true top disclosed figure), making the disclosed funding profile strongly top-heavy at the mid-single-digit millions. Disclosed amounts also cluster: three disclosed rounds sit in late 2024 to early 2025 (FITFCK $250K on 2024-10-08; Panache Cruises $4M on 2025-12-11 is later, while Real Bedford FC is 2024-04-12; and multiple smaller rounds appear around 2024-06 to 2024-10), while several entries are concentrated around London (FITFCK 2024-10-08, Adventuro 2024-06-10, SailGP 2026-02-10, LexisNexis Dragons is Cardiff, and others are outside London).
Stage disclosures are mixed: 6 of 11 entries are marked “Series Unknown” and 2 are “undisclosed,” with only one Seed (Movetru, 2025-11-04) and one Angel (Adventuro, 2024-06-10). Temporally, the rows span 2023-02-01 (Grid Finder) through 2026-06-19 (LexisNexis Dragons), with the most recent two entries both in 2026 (Cardiff-based LexisNexis Dragons on 2026-06-19; Bangor-based RibRide on 2026-04-23 at $200K).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds here, and how do they compare to the rest?
Real Bedford FC’s $5M round on 2024-04-12 is the largest disclosed amount in the list, with Panache Cruises next at $4M on 2025-12-11. Below those, the next disclosed values are comparatively smaller (e.g., Tribol Braking $810K on 2026-04-09 and Cricketqube $60K on 2023-06-07).
Are the disclosed rounds concentrated in a narrow time window, or spread out?
Disclosed funding appears in multiple bursts rather than a single tight window: examples include Cricketqube $60K (2023-06-07), Grid Finder $120K (2023-02-01), Real Bedford FC $5M (2024-04-12), FITFCK $250K (2024-10-08), and Panache Cruises $4M (2025-12-11). There is no single two- or three-month band that contains most of the disclosed dollars among the shown rows.
Which stage labels dominate, and how much of the list is undisclosed or “Series Unknown”?
“Series Unknown” appears on 6 of 11 entries (including LexisNexis Dragons on 2026-06-19 and SailGP on 2026-02-10). Separately, 2 of 11 entries list the amount as “undisclosed” (LexisNexis Dragons 2026-06-19; SailGP 2026-02-10), while the only explicit early-stage labels shown are Seed for Movetru (2025-11-04) and Angel for Adventuro (2024-06-10).
Do certain cities recur, indicating a geographic cluster?
London shows up repeatedly across different years and rounds (SailGP on 2026-02-10, FITFCK on 2024-10-08, and Adventuro on 2024-06-10), suggesting an urban concentration among these 11 entries. Outside London, notable placements include Cardiff (LexisNexis Dragons, 2026-06-19) and Newcastle Upon Tyne (Cricketqube $60K on 2023-06-07 and Grid Finder $120K on 2023-02-01).
Any outliers that stand out for size or for missing disclosed amounts?
On size, Real Bedford FC’s $5M (2024-04-12) and Panache Cruises’ $4M (2025-12-11) are clear outliers relative to sub-$1M disclosed rounds like Tribol Braking’s $810K (2026-04-09) and RibRide’s $200K (2026-04-23). On disclosure, two recent entries have “undisclosed” amounts despite being among the latest (LexisNexis Dragons, 2026-06-19; SailGP, 2026-02-10), which can obscure the true funding range at the top end.
