The largest disclosed round in this Sydney-focused set dwarfs the rest: Protecht raised $280M on 2025-03-24, while the next-highest disclosed amounts are $200K–$137M range (e.g., JOLT at $137M on 2025-02-24 and Shift at $128M on 2025-04-16), making Protecht a clear scale outlier within the disclosed amounts. Stage and classification are uneven too: five of 50 rows show “Series Unknown” (e.g., IREN at $550M on 2025-06-11 and Protecht at $280M on 2025-03-24), and one row is explicitly “undisclosed” (Devcie on 2025-04-17).
Geographically, nearly all entries are labeled Sydney, Australia or Sydney, New South Wales; the only non-Sydney location is Aeon Blue listed as Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada (2025-02-25). Temporally, rounds span 2025-02-24 to 2025-11-20, with multiple clusters around late February–March 2025 (e.g., JOLT on 2025-02-24, Instant on 2025-03-02, and Protecht on 2025-03-24), and continued AI/tech deal flow into November (Medow Health on 2025-11-20; Keeyu on 2025-11-12).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in this Sydney list, and how extreme is it versus other disclosed amounts?
Protecht’s $280M on 2025-03-24 is the largest disclosed amount across the 50 rows. It stands far above other major disclosed rounds like JOLT at $137M (2025-02-24) and Shift at $128M (2025-04-16), indicating a single-scale outlier rather than a gradual distribution.
Are most deals concentrated in a narrow time window, or spread evenly across the date range shown?
The dates run from 2025-02-24 (JOLT) to 2025-11-20 (Medow Health), but there’s a visible late-February to March 2025 cluster: Instant closed 2025-03-02 ($18M), Breaker 2025-03-13 ($1M), Reask 2025-03-13 ($4M), and Protecht 2025-03-24 ($280M). After that, the list keeps activity through April–November, including Medow Health (2025-11-20, $2M).
Which stage classifications dominate, and what fraction remains unclear?
“Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 50 rows (for example, IREN at $550M on 2025-06-11 and Protecht at $280M on 2025-03-24). There’s also 1 undisclosed amount (Devcie on 2025-04-17), which further limits stage-level interpretation when comparing deal sizes.
Do certain sectors repeat often enough to indicate a thematic concentration?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows up in at least 10 entries, spanning early-stage and larger checks—for example, Medow Health (2025-11-20, $2M), Optimaze (2025-10-15, $3M), Brainfish (2025-07-08, $6M), and Chronicle Studios (2025-06-24, $12M). Energy (including OSW at $6M on 2025-08-20 and Empire Energy at $18M on 2025-05-16) also appears multiple times, but AI is the more frequent repeat.
Are there notable geographic outliers within the “Sydney” set?
Nearly all rows list Sydney, Australia or Sydney, New South Wales; the main location mismatch is Aeon Blue, which is listed as Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada (2025-02-25, $200K). Additionally, a duplicate company name appears (IREN appears twice in the list with different dates and amounts: $102M on 2025-08-25 and $550M on 2025-06-11).
