Five recently disclosed funding rounds are listed for Swansea, UK, spanning 2022-06-10 (Smile Plastics) through 2024-06-17 (Marine Power Systems). The largest disclosed amount is Marine Power Systems’ $1M on 2024-06-17, and it matches the disclosed $1M rounds at Something Different Wholesale (2023-06-13) and Smile Plastics (2022-06-10), while other disclosed rounds sit below that ceiling ($2M for CanSense; $430K for Ortharize). A clear outlier within the disclosed set is CanSense’s $2M Seed on 2023-03-08, which is the only disclosed amount above the $1M cluster. Sector-wise, the list mixes Energy, Software, Commerce and Shopping, Biotechnology, and Manufacturing; Biotechnology is represented once (CanSense) and Software once (Ortharize), so there is no 3+ sector concentration. Temporally, three rounds fall in 2023 (Ortharize 2023-09-26, Something Different Wholesale 2023-06-13, CanSense 2023-03-08), creating a mid-window cluster after the 2022-06-10 entry.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Swansea list, and does it stand apart from the others?
The largest disclosed amount is CanSense’s $2M Seed on 2023-03-08. It sits above the $1M rounds for Marine Power Systems (2024-06-17), Something Different Wholesale (2023-06-13), and Smile Plastics (2022-06-10), while Ortharize’s disclosed $430K (2023-09-26) is materially smaller.
Are these funding rounds clustered in time, or spread evenly across the period shown?
Three of the five rounds are dated in 2023: CanSense ($2M, 2023-03-08), Something Different Wholesale ($1M, 2023-06-13), and Ortharize ($430K, 2023-09-26). The remaining two bookend the window with 2022-06-10 (Smile Plastics, $1M) and 2024-06-17 (Marine Power Systems, $1M), making 2023 the concentration point.
Does stage classification concentrate in a single bucket?
Only one round is explicitly labeled at Seed: CanSense’s $2M on 2023-03-08. The other four entries show “Series Unknown” or “Venture - Series Unknown” (Marine Power Systems 2024-06-17 $1M; Ortharize 2023-09-26 $430K; Something Different Wholesale 2023-06-13 $1M; Smile Plastics 2022-06-10 $1M), so stage detail is mostly unspecified.
Which sectors are over-represented in this shortlist?
No sector appears in 3+ entries: Energy (Marine Power Systems), Software (Ortharize), Commerce and Shopping (Something Different Wholesale), Biotechnology (CanSense), and Manufacturing (Smile Plastics) are each represented once. The only within-list “dominance” is amounts rather than sectors, with CanSense’s $2M Seed exceeding the $1M cluster.
Are there notable outliers worth attention for deal screening?
CanSense is the primary outlier by disclosed amount, at $2M (Seed) on 2023-03-08, which is above the repeated $1M figures for Marine Power Systems (2024-06-17), Something Different Wholesale (2023-06-13), and Smile Plastics (2022-06-10). Ortharize’s $430K on 2023-09-26 is the low-end outlier relative to the $1M cluster.
