Disclosed funding in Dutch deals is highly skewed: the largest disclosed round is Cefetra Group’s $755M (2026-06-03), and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts, with the top cluster otherwise concentrated below $260M (UniQure’s $259M on 2026-06-23; Yanara’s $171M on 2026-07-21). The smallest disclosed round is $60K (Paragraph, 2026-05-20), reinforcing a wide dispersion between large corporate-scale rounds and early disclosures.
The list also clusters geographically and temporally. Amsterdam accounts for 19 of the 50 entries, and its concentration spans multiple deal sizes and stages (e.g., UniQure $259M on 2026-06-23; Ore Energy $43M on 2026-08-04; Brighter Signals $460K on 2026-04-01), while the overall round dates shown run from 2026-03-12 through 2026-08-04 with 50 entries in 2026. Stage labeling is dominated by “Series Unknown” (22 of 50), while repeated sector activity centers on AI (8), Energy (7), and Biotechnology (7) across the period.
