The disclosed deal sizes in this Stanford-focused set cluster tightly around the mid-single to tens of millions, with one clear outlier: MegaETH’s $50M ICO on 2025-10-29. No other disclosed round in the visible rows exceeds $40M (Socket, Series B, $40M on 2024-10-22), and several smaller disclosed amounts sit at $12M or below (e.g., Leland $12M on 2024-11-13; Segmed $10M on 2024-09-03; WindBorne Systems $5M on 2024-12-10). On stage and disclosure, the list is skewed toward “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts: 6 of 21 rounds are labeled Series Unknown, and 3 of 21 are undisclosed (World Labs 2025-11-19; Terradot 2025-05-02; Siembra 2023-09-01; each shows no disclosed amount). Alphabetically similar geography is not the issue here; nearly all entries are explicitly in Stanford, California or Stanford, with a single exception in Stanford, Kentucky (Rare Character Whiskey, undisclosed, 2024-12-23). Temporally, the most recent datapoint is World Labs on 2025-11-19, while the oldest visible row is Terra.do on 2020-08-11, creating a long tail with a heavy concentration through 2024 and into mid-2025 (e.g., multiple rounds in July 2024 and July 2025).

Frequently asked
What stands out in disclosed round sizes for Stanford-based entries, and is it isolated?
MegaETH’s $50M ICO (2025-10-29) is the only disclosed amount above $40M, followed by Socket’s $40M Series B (2024-10-22). Everything else shown is at or below $30M disclosed (e.g., Lumos $30M on 2022-05-03; Leland $12M on 2024-11-13).
Are deal dates concentrated in a narrow window, or spread evenly across years?
The visible rows span 2020-08-11 (Terra.do) through 2025-11-19 (World Labs), but the densest cluster is 2024 into mid-2025, where multiple entries land within short intervals (e.g., 2024-10-22 through 2024-11-13 includes Socket $40M, Leland $12M, and Segmed $10M). The 2022 entries are present but more thinly distributed (e.g., Ficus 2022-07-01 at $30K; Lumos 2022-05-03 at $30M).
Which disclosure or stage labels dominate this Stanford list?
“Series Unknown” appears 6 times across the 21 rows (including Tandem PV 2025-07-17; Nitricity 2025-07-16; Terradot 2025-05-02; among others). “Undisclosed” appears 3 times with no amount shown (World Labs 2025-11-19; Terradot 2025-05-02; Siembra 2023-09-01).
Do specific sectors repeat often enough to indicate a thematic focus?
Artificial Intelligence appears repeatedly, spanning many dates (e.g., World Labs 2025-11-19 undisclosed; Nitricity 2025-07-16 $63M; Segmed 2024-09-03 $10M; Sidenote 2023-07-20 $500K). Education also recurs (Siembra 2023-09-01 undisclosed; PeerTeach 2023-05-25 undisclosed; Terra.do 2020-08-11 $1M).
Are there notable outliers by geography or amount that would affect outbound prioritization?
Geographically, nearly everything is listed as Stanford, California or Stanford; the main exception is Rare Character Whiskey in Stanford, Kentucky (2024-12-23, undisclosed). By amount, Ficus is the smallest disclosed figure in the table at $30K (2022-07-01), sitting far below the next lowest disclosed amounts shown (e.g., $500K Pre-Seed rounds like Excellence Learning 2025-03-12 and Kabilah 2024-04-03).
