Texas-focused funding in these 14 recent entries shows a wide spread in disclosed round sizes: Granite Ridge Resources raised $36M (2023-09-12), and that top disclosed amount dwarfs the next-highest levels, with only two $10M rounds (Space Runners on 2022-03-07 and ZYYAH on 2021-05-09) and then declines to $7M (Nomadar, 2026-03-19) and $6M (Embed Security, 2024-11-07). The list also clusters more in the recent past than in a single burst: rounds span from 2021-05-09 (ZYYAH) through 2026-04-22 (Vermillion Farms), with 2025–2026 accounting for multiple entries (e.g., CORE Tax Deeds $840K on 2026-04-05; Gooseneck Access Solutions $230K on 2025-08-04). Stage and disclosure are mixed: 11 of 14 have disclosed amounts, while 3 are undisclosed (including ARI Venture Studio on 2024-11-08). Sector-wise, Energy appears at least 2 times (Granite Ridge Resources on 2023-09-12; Swordfish Energy undisclosed on 2023-05-03), and “Series Unknown” is the dominant classification on several rows (e.g., Vermillion Farms on 2026-04-22; Granite Ridge Resources on 2023-09-12).

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size in this Texas list, and how does the top round compare to the rest?
Granite Ridge Resources’ $36M (2023-09-12) is the only disclosed round above $20M in this set and is followed by a pair of $10M rounds: Space Runners ($10M on 2022-03-07) and ZYYAH ($10M on 2021-05-09). After that, disclosed amounts step down to $7M (Nomadar, 2026-03-19) and $6M (Embed Security, 2024-11-07), with CORE Tax Deeds at $840K (2026-04-05).
Is there a concentration in time among the most recent rounds?
Yes—there are multiple entries in the 2025–2026 window rather than one tight spike: CORE Tax Deeds ($840K on 2026-04-05) and Vermillion Farms ($80K on 2026-04-22) bracket the newest dates, while Nomadar ($7M on 2026-03-19) and Gooseneck Access Solutions ($230K on 2025-08-04) extend that cluster into 2025–2026. The earliest shown date is 2021-05-09 (ZYYAH $10M).
How does the disclosure mix affect size-based analysis here?
11 of 14 entries have disclosed amounts; 3 are undisclosed, including ARI Venture Studio (2024-11-08, undisclosed) and Spay Neuter Network (2023-06-20, undisclosed). That means the “largest” comparison relies on disclosed rounds only—for example, $36M (Granite Ridge Resources, 2023-09-12) is the maximum disclosed amount, not the maximum among all rows.
Which stages are most common among the disclosed rounds?
The page shows multiple early-stage markers alongside many “Series Unknown” classifications: Pre-Seed appears on ARI Venture Studio (2024-11-08, undisclosed), ARI Venture Studio’s neighbor Embed Security (Seed, $6M on 2024-11-07) and DigitalEx (Pre-Seed, $2M on 2023-04-04). Seeds are represented by Embed Security ($6M on 2024-11-07), Pinnacle Realty Advisors ($5M on 2022-10-05), Space Runners ($10M on 2022-03-07), and ZYYAH (stage blank on 2021-05-09), while multiple others list “Series Unknown” (e.g., Granite Ridge Resources on 2023-09-12).
Are there sector over-representations or notable outliers to scrutinize?
Sector distribution is uneven: Energy appears more than once (Granite Ridge Resources $36M on 2023-09-12; Swordfish Energy, 2023-05-03, undisclosed), while several other sectors occur as single entries such as Sports (Nomadar $7M on 2026-03-19) and Information Technology (Embed Security $6M on 2024-11-07; DigitalEx $2M on 2023-04-04). The main outlier is size-wise rather than sector-wise: Granite Ridge Resources’ $36M (Energy) is substantially larger than the next disclosed amounts.
