Sector/stage signals lean toward life sciences and healthcare-adjacent work, with Biotechnology and Health Care appearing repeatedly (e.g., Wugen, Panome Bio, Rezilient Health, Defender Pharmaceuticals).

Stage labels are frequently missing or unspecified (e.g., Series Unknown for Defender Pharmaceuticals on 2023-07-18 with $70M; Series Unknown for Dataplant on 2023-08-21), while clear stage tags appear on a subset (e.g., SentiAR $9M as Series B on 2023-04-11; Intramotev $14M as Series A on 2024-08-15).

Frequently asked
Which St. Louis round looks like the biggest disclosed outlier, and what sits just below it?
The largest disclosed amount in the list is Central States Water Resources at $325M (2024-12-02). Wugen’s $115M (2025-08-27) is the next-highest disclosed deal, and it remains far below the $325M figure.
Do the rounds cluster into a specific recent time window rather than spreading evenly?
Yes. Several entries land tightly from late 2024 into 2025, including Central States Water Resources ($325M, 2024-12-02), Panome Bio ($6M, 2024-11-21), Rezilient Health ($10M, 2024-09-06), and a run of 2025 rounds such as Lion Forge Animation ($30M, 2025-09-13) and Wugen ($115M, 2025-08-27). The list also spans back to 2022-06-17 (yWhales, $10K).
What fraction of deals are hard to classify by stage because they show “Series Unknown” or are undisclosed?
Stage visibility is limited: multiple rows use “Series Unknown” (e.g., Defender Pharmaceuticals on 2023-07-18 with $70M; Rezilient Health on 2024-09-06 with $10M) and many rounds are also “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Juristat on 2025-11-18; Accelerate Wind on 2025-10-01). Several of the most recent entries fall into the undisclosed/unclear bucket as well (e.g., PayRecs on 2025-07-21, undisclosed).
Are any sectors over-represented in this St. Louis set, and do the biggest rounds come from those sectors?
Biotechnology and Health Care show up repeatedly (e.g., Wugen $115M on 2025-08-27; Panome Bio $6M on 2024-11-21; Defender Pharmaceuticals $70M on 2023-07-18; Rezilient Health $10M on 2024-09-06). The largest disclosed round ($325M, Central States Water Resources) is Natural Resources rather than biotech/health, but biotech/health does account for several of the higher disclosed figures.
Which entries are especially small disclosed rounds, and how do they contrast with the top end of the list?
At the small end, WUWA Textiles LLC shows $10K (2025-03-18) and yWhales shows $10K (2022-06-17). By contrast, the top disclosed deals reach $325M (Central States Water Resources on 2024-12-02) and $115M (Wugen on 2025-08-27), creating a wide disclosed range across the 50 rows.
