Among the 23 most recent funding rounds in Ticino, the largest disclosed amount is Energy Vault’s $136M (2026-02-11), and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed entry, Centiel’s $38M (2026-04-15). By stage, the list is skewed toward early-to-growth labeling: five of the 23 rows are “Seed” (e.g., The Nemesis $600K on 2025-05-16; Piece $3M on 2025-04-21), while “Series C” appears only once (xFarm Technologies $40M on 2024-10-09) and “Series B” appears once (Gr3n Recycling $18M on 2026-06-03). Timing clusters are visible: multiple rounds land in 2025 (e.g., Jaipur Robotics $800K on 2025-03-12; Hive Power $4M on 2024-12-16 precedes it), and the most recent row is IDNTT’s $6M on 2026-06-15. Geographically, Lugano appears repeatedly across sectors (Energy Vault 2026-02-11, Centiel 2026-04-15, Piece 2025-04-21), while several entries use other Ticino municipalities like Manno and Chiasso. Amount disclosure is incomplete: four rows list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Lighthouse Tech on 2025-05-23; PrimalBee on 2024-10-18).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round in Ticino in this list, and how isolated is it?
Energy Vault’s $136M on 2026-02-11 is the clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are Centiel’s $38M on 2026-04-15 and xFarm Technologies’ $40M on 2024-10-09, leaving most other disclosed rounds in the single-digit millions or below (e.g., Piece $3M on 2025-04-21).
Do the most recent rounds cluster in time, or are they evenly spread across years?
Dates span from 2022-04-12 (HOXXOH, undisclosed) to 2026-06-15 (IDNTT $6M). Within that window, a dense run of activity appears in 2025 (e.g., The Nemesis $600K on 2025-05-16; Centiel’s $38M occurs later on 2026-04-15), and there are multiple 2026 entries through June (IDNTT 2026-06-15; Gr3n Recycling 2026-06-03).
Which cities show up most consistently, and does it map to specific sectors?
Lugano is the most frequent city in this slice, including Energy Vault (Energy, 2026-02-11 $136M), Centiel (Other, 2026-04-15 $38M), and Piece (Financial Services, Seed 2025-04-21 $3M). Manno and Chiasso also recur (e.g., Hive Power in Manno on 2024-12-16 $4M; Rolling Square in Chiasso on 2023-06-22 $1M), suggesting a broader spread beyond a single neighborhood.
How dominant are early-stage labels like Seed compared with later rounds?
Seed appears in 5 of the 23 rows (The Nemesis $600K on 2025-05-16; Piece $3M on 2025-04-21; Gaia Turbine $1M on 2025-03-21; Hive Power $4M on 2024-12-16; Coinnect $2M on 2022-08-15). Later-stage labels are less common here: Series C shows up once (xFarm Technologies $40M on 2024-10-09) and Series B shows up once (Gr3n Recycling $18M on 2026-06-03).
Are there any companies with undisclosed amounts that could be masking large rounds or changes in positioning?
Four rows list “undisclosed” amounts, including Lighthouse Tech (Consumer Goods) on 2025-05-23 and PrimalBee (Agriculture and Farming) on 2024-10-18. Others include Intraverse (Blockchain and Cryptocurrency) on 2024-02-13 and HOXXOH (Food and Beverage) on 2022-04-12, meaning comparisons relying on disclosed $ sizes have a partial view.
