In disclosed deal size, Vital Energy’s $575M round on 2024-03-14 dwarfs the next-largest disclosed amounts in the list ($10M for Medefy on 2023-12-11), making Vital Energy the clear outlier by disclosed value.
The recent rounds cluster around a late-2024 to mid-2025 window: multiple entries land in March–April 2024 (Safety Radar on 2024-03-07 at $2M, Vital Energy on 2024-03-14 at $575M, and IllumiNative on 2024-04-02 at $2M) and several more appear in 2024-06-26 (Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa, undisclosed) and 2025-03-06 (Prelude, undisclosed). Stage classification is frequently not specified: 10 of 19 rows are marked either “Series Unknown” or “Private Equity”/blank, while 3 of 19 rows explicitly show “undisclosed” amounts (Accurate Fire Equipment on 2025-09-19; Prelude on 2025-03-06; Hunger Free Oklahoma on 2023-08-28).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier in Tulsa, and how large is it versus the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Vital Energy’s $575M on 2024-03-14 is the only disclosed amount far above the remaining values, where the next-largest disclosed round is Medefy’s $10M on 2023-12-11; other disclosed rounds include $5M (Ten-Nine Technologies, 2020-05-09) and $3M (Endeavor Orthopaedics, 2026-06-01; Respond Flow, 2021-08-13).
Do the most recent closings concentrate in a particular date window rather than being evenly spread?
They cluster in multiple bursts: late Q1–early Q2 2024 includes Safety Radar (2024-03-07, $2M), Vital Energy (2024-03-14, $575M), IllumiNative (2024-04-02, $2M), and Volt (2024-04-23, $2M), followed by additional activity later in 2024 such as Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa (2024-06-26, undisclosed) and capSpire (2024-07-16, undisclosed).
How often are stage or funding amounts not specified, and does that affect what can be compared?
Stage is often non-standard for comparables: 10 of 19 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” or have no series shown (e.g., Vital Energy on 2024-03-14 and Total Partners on 2023-10-04 lists “Seed” while others have blanks). Disclosed amount gaps also matter: 3 of 19 rows show “undisclosed” amounts (Accurate Fire Equipment on 2025-09-19; Prelude on 2025-03-06; Hunger Free Oklahoma on 2023-08-28).
What stage mix dominates among the rows where a series is explicitly named?
Among explicitly labeled stages, Seed appears multiple times (Total Partners on 2023-10-04 at $280K; Shatterbox on 2023-01-24 at $140K; Respond Flow on 2021-08-13 at $3M; and Cadenzo is a “Grant” rather than Seed on 2022-08-01 at $10K). Series A is present as Medefy on 2023-12-11 at $10M, while Private Equity shows up for Accurate Fire Equipment (2025-09-19, undisclosed) and W Energy Software (2022-01-13, $100K).
Which sectors repeat most often in this Tulsa list, suggesting concentration beyond single-company noise?
Energy repeats across multiple entries: Vital Energy (2024-03-14, $575M), Total Partners (2023-10-04, $280K), Ten-Nine Technologies (2020-05-09, $5M), and W Energy Software (2022-01-13, $100K). In contrast, other categories such as AI (Prelude, Safety Radar, both in Tulsa; plus IllumiNative in community) appear fewer times based on the rows shown.
If someone wanted to prioritize outreach based on recency, what’s the most recent round date and which company it is tied to?
The most recent round date in the list is 2026-06-01, tied to Endeavor Orthopaedics at $3M; the next most recent is Boddle on 2026-05-06 at $1M. Together, they set the latest two points on the 2020-05-09 to 2026-06-01 span visible in these 19 rows.
