Seed rounds in Transportation span 2023-12-15 (Delta X Automotive, undisclosed) through 2025-10-27 (Rhino, $3M) across 50 rows. In disclosed amounts, the largest round is Donut Lab’s $29M (2025-07-08), which is far above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $14M (Blue Water Autonomy, 2025-04-11) and $10M (Astrobase, 2025-07-02; Lemmo, 2024-06-04), while smaller disclosed rounds cluster around $1M–$3M (for example, NORDA Dynamics $1M on 2025-09-27; BusCaro $1M on 2025-09-16; several $2M and $3M rounds across 2024–2025). Geographically, the list shows broad country coverage but a noticeable concentration in India (e.g., Catalyx $6M on 2025-08-21; Astrobase $10M on 2025-07-02; Advance Mobility $3M on 2024-10-21; Zevo $2M on 2024-10-03; Delta X Automotive is undisclosed on 2023-12-15). The dataset also contains 6 rows with undisclosed disclosed amounts (including Aksel on 2025-03-13; Flying Tigers Express on 2024-10-09; and Verne on 2024-04-18).

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size in this seed transportation list, and how does the top round compare with the rest of the disclosed figures?
Donut Lab’s $29M seed (2025-07-08) is the clear size outlier among disclosed rounds, well above Blue Water Autonomy’s $14M (2025-04-11) and the $10M cluster at Astrobase (2025-07-02) and Lemmo (2024-06-04). Many other disclosed rounds sit between $1M and $3M, such as NORDA Dynamics $1M (2025-09-27) and EnVgo $2M (2025-06-10).
How concentrated are seed closings in time versus spread across the period shown?
Most of the rows cluster in the 2024–2025 window: several recent rounds appear in late 2025 (Rhino $3M on 2025-10-27; NORDA Dynamics $1M on 2025-09-27; BusCaro $1M on 2025-09-16), while the earliest row shown is 2023-12-15 (Delta X Automotive, undisclosed). The list is not dominated by one single month, but it shows heavier density in 2024 and 2025 entries such as multiple June 2025 seed closings ($600K Nowlun on 2025-06-24; $1M CirculaCar on 2025-06-13; $9M Swisspod on 2025-06-01).
Which locations appear most frequently, and are any countries more represented than others?
India shows up repeatedly with multiple disclosed rounds across different dates and cities/capital regions, including Catalyx $6M (2025-08-21, Bengaluru), Astrobase $10M (2025-07-02, Bengaluru), Advance Mobility $3M (2024-10-21, Mumbai), Zevo $2M (2024-10-03, New Delhi), FlyORO $2M (2024-01-10, Singapore listed but adjacent global coverage highlights how India remains a recurring node via multiple entries like Delta X Automotive, undisclosed, on 2023-12-15 from Bangalore).
Are there deal-size “bands” that recur, suggesting a typical seed amount range in this dataset?
Yes: disclosed rounds frequently cluster around low single-digit millions, with many examples at $1M–$3M (e.g., CirculaCar $1M on 2025-06-13; PIESHIP $2M on 2025-02-12; Gaya $5M is higher but less common than the $1M–$3M band). At the same time, there are low-end disclosed amounts like Verdethos $100K (2025-07-23), which sits far below the $1M–$3M concentration.
How often are amounts undisclosed, and do undisclosed rounds affect comparisons like “largest” or “smallest”?
There are 6 seed rows with undisclosed amounts (including Aksel on 2025-03-13; Flying Tigers Express on 2024-10-09; TUNL on 2024-10-04; Verne on 2024-04-18; 123 Shared Mobility Holding GmbH on 2024-01-16; Cargoz on 2024-01-16). Comparisons of largest/smallest disclosed amounts rely on disclosed figures only: the top disclosed amount is Donut Lab’s $29M (2025-07-08), and the smallest disclosed amount is Verdethos’s $100K (2025-07-23).
Which recent entries (by date) look like the most material deals you’d want to prioritize for outreach or diligence?
Within the most recent months shown, the largest disclosed rounds include Donut Lab’s $29M on 2025-07-08 and Nevoya’s $9M on 2025-07-22, while other high-but-smaller recent checks include Blue Water Autonomy’s $14M on 2025-04-11 and Swisspod’s $9M on 2025-06-01. At the lower end of recent disclosed amounts, Verdethos closed at $100K on 2025-07-23, indicating a broader range than just mid-market-sized seed raises.
