The disclosed funding on this Sydney-focused list is highly top-heavy: IREN’s $3.6B round (2026-06-01) is the only disclosed deal above $100M, dwarfing the next-largest amounts in the $315M–$112M range (e.g., AdvanCell $315M on 2026-07-15; MoneyMe $264M on 2026-05-14; Westlink M7 $214M on 2026-05-19). Outliers also show up at the low end: the smallest disclosed round is Number 8 bio at $20K (2026-06-09), versus the same period featuring multi-hundred-million rounds like AdvanCell and MoneyMe.
The time window for the 50 most recent entries runs from 2026-03-02 (Lyka Pet Food) to 2026-07-29 (Octopusbot), and all rows list Sydney (50 entries), with 43 of 50 amounts disclosed. Sector and stage mix appears uneven, with multiple firms in categories such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Energy, and a recurring “Series Unknown” classification that cuts across the date range (e.g., Drift Protocol $100M on 2026-04-16 and CreditiorWatch as undisclosed on 2026-07-09).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed rounds define the top end of Sydney funding here, and how does the leader compare to everything else?
IREN’s $3.6B (2026-06-01) is a clear outlier: it’s the only disclosed round above $100M, while the rest of the disclosed leaders cluster below that threshold, including AdvanCell $315M (2026-07-15), MoneyMe $264M (2026-05-14), and Westlink M7 $214M (2026-05-19).
Are the disclosed amounts concentrated in any narrow timeframe near the most recent rounds?
No single tight “burst” dominates the disclosed set; funding spans 2026-03-02 to 2026-07-29. Even the largest items are distributed across that window—for example, IREN $3.6B (2026-06-01) and AdvanCell $315M (2026-07-15) both sit far from the oldest date shown (Lyka Pet Food $67M on 2026-03-02).
How do outliers show up at the low end compared with the high end?
The smallest disclosed amount is Number 8 bio at $20K (2026-06-09). That $20K floor sits next to mid-to-large disclosed rounds in the same broader period, such as MAKO $19M (2026-06-29) and Oscorp Energy $930K (2026-06-04), and it contrasts sharply with the top disclosed value at IREN $3.6B (2026-06-01).
What portion of entries disclose amounts vs leave amounts unspecified?
Of the 50 most recent rows, 43 have disclosed amounts and 7 are undisclosed. You can see the undisclosed pattern alongside disclosed comparables, such as The Ben Buckler on 2026-07-27 (undisclosed) next to AdvanCell $315M on 2026-07-15 and LendUs $5M on 2026-07-08.
Does the list skew toward a particular stage label or toward “Series Unknown”?
Stage labels are mixed, and “Series Unknown” appears repeatedly across dates and sizes—for instance, IREN is “Series Unknown” at $3.6B (2026-06-01), Westlink M7 is “Series Unknown” at $214M (2026-05-19), and Syntara is “Series Unknown” at $5M (2026-04-29). The result is that disclosed outcomes often can’t be mapped cleanly to a specific stage based solely on the label in this view.
Are any sectors over-represented in the Sydney set, based on repeated categories in the rows shown?
Yes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows multiple entries across stages and dates, including Octopusbot (AI) $690K on 2026-07-29, Drift Protocol (AI) $100M on 2026-04-16, and Arlula (AI) $2M on 2026-03-14. Energy is also repeated, with multiple rounds such as IREN $3.6B (2026-06-01), Beetaloo Energy Group $47M (2026-04-13), and Pilot Energy $250K (2026-04-16).
